Balfour+Manson – Helping you and your family get your affairs in order

When life changes unexpectedly, clear legal arrangements can make things easier for you and for the people closest to you.

At Balfour+Manson, we help individuals and families across Scotland plan ahead, protect the people who matter to them and deal with difficult circumstances when they arise. We take time to understand your situation, explain your options in plain English and give practical advice that reflects what matters to you and your family.

Planning ahead matters

None of us knows what the future holds. Putting your legal arrangements in place can give you a greater sense of control and provide reassurance for those close to you.

A will allows you to decide what happens to your estate and can help avoid uncertainty for your family. A power of attorney allows you to choose someone you trust to make financial and welfare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make those decisions yourself.

These aren't just documents to put in a drawer. They are important ways of making your wishes known and making things easier for the people who may need to support you.

Our private client team can advise on wills, powers of attorney, executries and estate administration, trusts, guardianships, succession and tax planning, as well as matters affecting elderly or vulnerable family members.

More than one area of law, one team you can turn to

Sometimes a personal or family situation involves more than one legal issue. You may need advice about your will and power of attorney alongside your home, family circumstances, employment or another legal matter.

At Balfour+Manson, you can access expertise across a wide range of areas, including private client, residential property, family law, personal injury, medical negligence and employment law. Our teams work together where appropriate, so you don't have to navigate everything on your own.

A long history of putting people first

Balfour+Manson was established in Edinburgh in 1888. More than 130 years later, we continue to combine extensive legal experience with a personal and approachable service for clients across Scotland.

We know that contacting a solicitor isn't always something people look forward to. Our job is to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible, particularly when circumstances are difficult.

Legal excellence. Caring people.
