Elder Client at Scots Law 2026

We are delighted to be returning to the Hilton Glasgow* for the first in our Scots Law 2026 Conference Series, exclusively available to delegates in person on the day.

Our new conference, chaired by the former Public Guardian, Sandra McDonald of EXPG, will take an in depth look at the most important legal developments, as well as considering how you can enhance your practice with topics ranging from assessing capacity and tax planning for elder clients to issues with trust and the practical application of the guardianship process.

Sandra will be joined by a panel of experts including Sarah-Jane Macdonald of Wright Johnston & Mackenzie, Emma Horne from Thorntons, Simon Barber of Title Research, Dianne Millen and Andrew Paterson of Murray Beith Murray.

This event is sponsored by Title Research
