    # Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service

    Scottish Courts explains confirmation and the executor's court authority in
    the [Scottish estate route](../services/scotland-confirmation-estate.md).
    Sheriff court staff do not provide legal advice and the bundle predicts no
    application outcome.
