3 New Year Resolutions and Some Ways We Can Help
As the new year approaches, many of us have thought about making some resolutions. This blog looks at some resolutions we often see people considering.
Do you have a will? What will happen to Aretha’s Estate?
The recent news that Aretha Franklin died on 16 August 2018 intestate (without leaving a will) ought to prompt the millions of people who have not made wills to reflect. The Queen of Soul reportedly left a fortune equivalent to approximately £62m.
Trustees and Disclosure
The recent decision of HJJ Matthews in the case of Lewis & Ors v Tamplin & Ors (2018) EWHC 777 Ch has clarified the rules surrounding the rights of beneficiaries to demand disclosure of documents and information from trustees.
Vague Wording mean wishes are legally unenforceable
A recent estate dispute has rendered vague wording in a letter of wishes legally unenforceable.
