There are a number of important differences to be aware of when signing and witnessing a Scottish Will.
Signing the Will
In Scotland, there is a requirement to sign the bottom of each page of the Will.
If there are any pages that are not signed this will render the Will invalid, so this is a crucial part of the signing process.
Witnessing the Will
In Scotland there only needs to be one witness to a Will. The witness must also sign on each page.
Witnesses to a Scottish Will must be over the age of 16.
In England and Wales there is no requirement to provide the place where the Will is signed, but this should be included in Scottish Wills.
