Murray Beith Murray LLP is a leading Scottish private client law firm.
For 175 years we have specialised in meeting the legal, financial and administrative needs of individuals and families, family trusts, charities and private companies.
During the ‘lockdown’ period, we have learned to rely on technology to keep us connected with our loved ones, be it over FaceTime, Zoom, or similar. iPhone’s weekly screen time reports make even the most diligent of us question, “Did I really spend all those hours on my phone this week?!” It is therefore no surprise that technology appears in all crevices of our lives and can play a huge (and helpful) role in our finances.
=In today's uncertain times, more people, of all ages, are committing to putting a Power of Attorney in place. This provides confidence that should they become mentally incapacitated, someone they know and trust will manage their personal and financial affairs on their behalf.
Murray Beith Murray has retained its ranking as one of the best private client law firms in the UK, by online publication eprivateclient. In the ‘2020 eprivateclient Top Law Firms’ the firm ranks amongst 48 UK law firms, including only four firms ranked in Scotland.
Now six months into lockdown, we still do not know when everything may go back to “normal”. The restrictions in place have had an impact on us all, and one of the key issues is the increased isolation that we have all experienced to some degree. With the current Covid-19 cases on the rise again and winter fast approaching, it is expected that restrictions will remain in place for some time.
Thousands of couples across Scotland chose to live together without getting married – for a wide variety of reasons. However, what most fail to realise is that without proper estate planning, they may be at risk of becoming involved in complicated legal matters.
