Re: Back in Scotland
Just one of the many complications of "being in two places at the same time" I have never seen an authoritative answer to this question - are separate wills recommended for each different jurisdiction in which we have assets ?

Re: Back in Scotland
I came back in April 2020 and have had to have a Will done here as I bought a couple of flats to remodel and have already sold one on. Problem is that the old will did not cover anything is Scotland as the x wife was given everything when I left (voluntarily) as it was the family home. Scottish Widows pension was rubbish so cashed in and went for property. Not easy to get materials but moving forward. As an expat of course we get zero assistance during the pandemic as we have got savings. Often wonder if I did the right thing as I see many new cars and no work being done. Happy to be back on the West Coast even though the last few days have been dreechit.

Re: Back in Scotland
No improvement,Ardrossanborn,.I came to Ayrshire in late January 2021 & feel it is like walking in treacle.Had to go on flight to Newcastle & travel up to Scotland & asked the British Embassy if I had to do my isolation in that city or could I travel on by train to Scotland.Still waiting for a reply.Today I am going for the details of my paid up funeral plan that I took out with a British company in Spain some years back.Then on to get some legal advice about rewriting my will as,& I was not aware of this before,Scotland has different inheritance rules to England.

Re: Back in Scotland
Liz Truss is at present having discussions with the Australians concerning a trade deal.Of course it will be a British deal,including what each of the 4 countries has to put into the pot as regards goods to offer.Scotch whisky,I believe,has been one of the products to be contributed.In return we shall get a lot of meat.My Ozzie brother-in-law(in England)thinks it will be great for both sides & at the same time will help with joining the Asian-Pacific trade group of which Australia is a member.Then there is the deal suggested with Norway,Liechtenstein & Iceland where we can exchange our cheeses & (strangely beef which I thought we were importing from Australia) for goods from these 3 countries.If this comes off what do you think,good for us or not?
