The second edition of ‘Private Client Scotland’ is now available

The second edition of Private Client Scotland is now available.

“In this edition there are articles on the Scottish Government’s proposal to reform our law of succession and an update and hopefully some closure on the validity or otherwise of continuing Powers of Attorney made in the standard form recommended by OPG (Scotland). Included in ‘Case reviews’ is the decision of Sheriff Hammond that a relationship of approximately 13 months qualifies as ‘cohabitation’ for the purposes of section 25 of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006. ‘Professional updates’ include a link to HMRC’s December ‘Trusts and Estates newsletter’ and confirmation of a new and designated guardianship court sitting in Edinburgh. Lastly the ‘News items’ section includes stories that range from a new Cabinet Secretary for Justice to an unexpected tax bill for Boris Johnson.”
