About Us
MyScottish was designed and run by Bruce de Wert, a retired Scottish solicitor. He has now passed the baton onto his daughter Nicole de Wert-Wightman.
Our mission is clear:-
To make the complicated, simple
To make the expensive, inexpensive
It wasn’t easy and Mr de Wert received opposition from the Law Society of Scotland who forbade him to offer Wills online, as a Solicitor, in 1999.
They said and say that all Solicitors must meet their clients. That is a worthy counsel of perfection but expensive and impossible online.
Rather than accept that, he started a company, Confidential Legal Services Direct Limited, through which we have provided thousands of customers, like you, with Wills and Powers of Attorney at an affordable price and in a way that is understandable.
As far as we know the service is unique in Scotland.
Why? Probably because it needs a Solicitor who can also write computer code and design websites. I have been a pioneer in both. Not many Solicitors wish to invest the time and energy.
We, on the other hand, want to provide you with inexpensive, simple and convenient services. So we do!
Legal notes
Powers of Attorney are checked by the Office of the Public Guardian Scotland before they are registered.
As will be clear, from what we have said, we are required to point out that, in offering legal services, neither Bruce de Wert, Nicole de Wert-Wightman nor the company are operating as Solicitors. All services are provided by Confidential Legal Services Direct Limited SC204041.
