Gifts to your spouse or civil partner and children In Scotland a spouse or civil partner is entitled to half of your net moveable estate if there are no children or a third if there are children.

Children are entitled to half of your net moveable estate if there is no surviving spouse or a third if there is a surviving spouse.

'Moveable estate' means bank accounts, shareholdings, cars, personal belongings but not a house, flat or land.

Who do you want to receive a gift or share of your estate?

You can include friends, family and anyone you want. Only the name is required but the other fields will help identify your beneficiaries when the time comes.

You will be able to leave them a specific gift (money, property, items) or a share of your estate in the next steps.

(Optional) Do you want to leave specific gifts or donations?

You can leave property, items or money to a beneficiary. Anything you don't specify here will be dealt with in the next step where you can define how the rest of your estate is shared.

How is your estate shared? When you pass away your funeral expenses and any debts are paid out of your estate first. Any gifts you left in the previous step are distributed next. Choose now how the remainder of your estate will be shared amongst your beneficiaries.

How would you like the rest of your estate to be shared?

If someone is missing from this list, go back to add them. To exclude someone put their share at 0%.

You have only added one beneficiary so the remainder of your estate will go to this person only. You can directly move on to the next step. If someone is missing from this list, go back to add them.

You can change the repartition as long as the total is exactly 100%.
