I am currently living overseas, I understand I must reside in Scotland to qualify for a protected trust deed, is this the case? Would I need to come back to qualify, and remain in Scotland for the duration?

Welcome to the trust deed forum davied.
Are you originally from Scotland? If so, when did you leave?

I am originally from Scotland and left early this year.

Thank you davied.
Could you let us know which month you left?
Do you retain a home in Scotland?
It was quite a while ago, but I seem to remember our experts saying this might be OK if the departure wasn't too long ago. Hopefully one of them can confirm the answer for you soon.

I left in January and still have property in Scotland.
I found the answer on another thread, because I have lived in Scotland within last 12 months I can apply.

That sounds positive davied.
Hopefully Mark, Kevin, Shona or Chris will be along soon to share their thoughts with you on this.

Jurisdiction per the act states that the person needs to have been resident in Scotland at the relevant time. ÔÇ£the relevant timeÔÇØ is defined as any time in the year immediately preceding the date of presentation of a petition for Sequestration and therefore would be any time in the year at the date of signing of a Trust Deed.
