Services
Divorce Solicitors Gibson Kerr are experienced family lawyers who are expert divorce solicitors. A team of experts by your side.
Power of Attorney Gibson Kerr's Power of Attorney service helps clients create a tailored legal document that outlines the specific powers that the attorney will have. This can include managing the donor's bank accounts, paying bills, making investments, selling property, and making decisions about medical treatment. The attorney must act in the donor's best interests and follow any instructions outlined in the Power of Attorney document.
Executries Gibson Kerr's executry solicitors provide guidance and support to clients during the process of administering an estate. They can help with tasks such as obtaining confirmation (the Scottish equivalent of probate), valuing and distributing assets, settling debts and taxes, and preparing the necessary legal documents.
Estate Planning Gibson Kerr is a law firm based in Edinburgh, Scotland that provides a range of legal services to clients. One of the services they offer is estate planning.

Estate planning is the process of preparing for the management and distribution of a person's assets after they pass away. This can include creating a will, establishing trusts, and setting up power of attorney arrangements. The goal of estate planning is to ensure that a person's assets are distributed according to their wishes and that their loved ones are provided for after they are gone.

Gibson Kerr's estate planning services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. They can provide guidance and support in areas such as drafting and updating wills, establishing trusts, and setting up power of attorney arrangements. They can also advise clients on issues such as inheritance tax planning and asset protection.
Wills A will is a legal document that outlines a person's wishes regarding the distribution of their assets after they pass away. It is important to have a will in place to ensure that your loved ones are taken care of and your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

At Gibson Kerr, we offer a range of will services to help our clients create their wills. Our experienced solicitors work closely with clients to understand their unique circumstances and create a personalized plan that meets their needs. We also provide advice on inheritance tax planning and can assist with the administration of estates.

Our aim is to make the process of creating a will as straightforward and stress-free as possible, giving our clients peace of mind that their wishes will be carried out after they're gone.
Separation Agreements Separation agreements are legal documents that outline the terms and conditions of a separation between two parties, such as a married couple, who have decided to end their relationship but are not yet seeking a divorce.

These agreements typically cover issues such as the division of assets and debts, child custody and support, spousal support, and any other matters related to the separation. By establishing clear guidelines and expectations, separation agreements can help avoid conflicts and disputes down the road.

Separation agreements can be especially beneficial for couples who wish to separate amicably and do not want to go through the time, expense, and emotional strain of a court battle. Additionally, they can help ensure that both parties have a clear understanding of their rights and obligations, which can make the process of divorce smoother if that is the eventual outcome.
Inheritance Tax Planning Gibson Kerr is a leading law firm that specializes in inheritance tax planning. Their team of experienced solicitors provides expert guidance on the complex and ever-changing tax laws to help clients minimize their inheritance tax liabilities. They provide a range of services, including creating wills, trusts, and lifetime gifts, as well as advising on the transfer of assets and inheritance tax reliefs.

They coordinated everything for us and kept us up to date at every stage of the process. We appreciated the smoothness of the process and quality of advice, testament to the teams experience. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will certainly be using them again in the future.

While selling my Mum's flat recently, I was hugely impressed with the service I received from Gibson Kerr Solicitors and, in particular, Elaine Bell, Property Executive. Elaine guided me through every step of the way with great skill and expertise, always in a friendly and approachable manner, putting me at ease to ask all my silly questions! She was very attentive, keeping me updated at every stage in the process and giving me judicious advice when it came to offers and the subsequent sale. Elaine instilled huge confidence and I can't recommend her services, and that of Gibson Kerr, highly enough.

Gibson Kerr Family Law Solicitors in Edinburgh have been extraordinary in helping me with my divorce and contact with my children, my special "thank you" goes to Caroline MacBeath and Fiona Rasmusen. I have felt supported and taken care of by the team and company on far more grounds than just the legal aspects. Emotional intelligence is needed additional to technical knowledge; even more when young children are involved in the divorce.

Without your absolutely fantastic, quick and professional help and support, I am afraid it would not have been possible for my ex-wife and I to come to a solid fair agreement. They manage to avoid going to court, diplomatic where possible, standing our ground if necessary. I can only but recommend them.
