Macnabs are delighted to once again be taking part in this year’s annual Will Aid fundraising event throughout November. It is simple – you make an appointment, we make your Will and instead of paying a fee you make a donation to the Will Aid charity.  Macnabs has taken part in the annual Will Aid scheme for over 10 years, raising over £60,000 for the Will Aid charities which include ActionAid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, Sightsavers, SCIAF (Scotland) and Trocaire (N. Ireland). Without a Will you have no control over what will happen to your money, possessions and property after you die, often leading to stressful, and also costly, family disputes. Life is precious - do what you can to protect those you love.

Macnabs has recently recruited a new trainee to take the total current trainee intake to four. Megan Carling joined the Family team at Macnabs after graduating from Aberdeen University with a law degree and completing her diploma at Strathclyde University. She joins trainees Aimee Young who worked for the firm as a Legal Secretary prior to undertaking her traineeship, as well as Lauren McIntosh and Vikki Carver who both assigned their traineeship to Macnabs from another local firm earlier this year.
