What is probate? Administer an estate after someone dies in Scotland

We’re often asked to help clients with probate matters. In Scotland the legal term we use for Probate is actually Confirmation. In this video I’m going to explain the confirmation process, and help you understand the steps you may need to take after someone close to you has passed away.
The information in this video will be useful if you are an Executor. Even a relatively straightforward estate can take from 6 months to a year to deal with, and people often find it is helpful to get professional support from a solicitor.

The executors are usually named in the deceased person’s Will. If there is no Will the court will usually appoint a close relative to be the executor.
To be able to apply for Confirmation the Executors have to prepare an Inventory of all the deceased’s assets including their value at the date they passed away, as well as identifying any debts owed by the deceased.

Did Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett pioneer the strategy of investing when the market is low and high? Warren Buffet noted that he has observed this pattern frequently throughout his life. Personally, my wife and I have always earned a middle-class salary, yet we plan to retire at 58 with a $4 million stock portfolio. Surprisingly, we have never sold a single share of stock.

I've been following a similar approach, ensuring IRS compliance by having all my income invested in stocks. However, I prefer not to handle the work myself. Instead, I invest through an advisor who handles stock selection. This way, my money grows, and I enjoy tax benefits.
