Propose a change

Executors (Scotland) Act 1900

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

2 Executors nominate to have the powers and privileges of trustees.

All executors nominate shall, unless the contrary be expressly provided in the trust deed, have the whole powers, privileges, and immunities, and be subject to all the limitations and restrictions, which from time to time gratuitous trustees have, or are subject to, under the Trusts (Scotland) Acts, 1861 to 1898, or this Act, or any Act amending the same, and otherwise under the statute and common law of Scotland.

Your change, as a redline

2 Executors nominate to have the powers and privileges of trustees.

All executors nominate shall, unless the contrary be expressly provided in the trust deed, have the whole powers, privileges, and immunities, and be subject to all the limitations and restrictions, which from time to time gratuitous trustees have, or are subject to, under the Trusts (Scotland) Acts, 1861 to 1898, or this Act, or any Act amending the same, and otherwise under the statute and common law of Scotland.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
