Pre-Nuptial Agreements

Pre-nuptial Agreements & Co-habitation Agreements

Following the introduction of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006 certain rights are granted to couples who are living together but are not married or in a civil partnership. If this applies to you then you may wish to consider putting in place an Agreement to identify any issues that may affect your relationship, for example if one of you has contributed more to the purchase price of a property in which you live. These types of Agreements will be taken into account if you were ever to split. This is an issue which people find difficult to address and you certainly do not wish to take the bloom off a new relationship by suggesting that there could be a split, but it is better to be prepared in case such a situation does arise rather than go down the route of a messy split.

“To all at Jameson + Mackay who helped us as a family with all that was involved with our father’s estate including the sale of his house we want to say many thanks for your help, professionalism and compassion. It was much appreciated and will be remembered. ” The W family, Oct 2021

Alison, I am writing to thank you and your team for completing all matters in connection with my late father’s estate. I am so pleased that my parents had the foresight to introduce us so many years ago. Please pass on my particular thanks to Pauline for the excellent way in which she handled matters. She has always been cheerful and very professional in all dealings I’ve had with her. She has always been easy to talk to and has helped make the process as easy as possible for myself which is much appreciated. Thank you once again for the excellent way that you have dealt with my late father’s estate. ” Mr K , July 2021

“Communication was very clear and responsive at all times and we signed our documents via a video conference call. Being able to proceed with key legal matters was very reassuring. All round a very positive experience in difficult times.”

Mr M

I should have sent an email earlier to thank you for all your work to make sure the settlement went through for the house (at both ends!) – we never met you in person but we both thought you were super efficient and we’re very grateful for your painstaking work on making sure that everything went through – as well as answering our emails quickly and reassuring us that all was well. It really is a great service that you provide.
