I haven't read all this, but just because one person's name is on the deeds doesn't mean the other spouse owns nothing. On the face of it the husband may own, but in equity, depending on contributions to the marriage (not necessarily financial), the percentage of ownership may be different. However,...

You should definitely see a solicitor about this, as Susie and Bowlingbun have said. I believe that dissatisfied beneficiaries can take action against you, and then the court will consider whether you were negligent, and presumably you would be OK as you were not negligent and had a justification fo...

Wendy, I hope it works out. I am thinking that if a solicitor explains the law to your sister, she can be persuaded to make funds available without going to court.

I think you should continue talking to the lawyer or another lawyer. As I recall, if a person is dependent on the testator, they have rights to claim some of the estate. But I don't know details. I do know that this is a limit on the freedom of testation. But don't take my word for it. Nor do I know...

You can actually move during the pandemic, although as others have said, it needs thinking through very seriously. The stamp duty land tax you would normally have to pay was partly removed by the Chancellor last year and this continues till the end of June 2021, after which a lesser reduction will a...

I couldn't have moved him on a regualr basis and I was told not to use it alone, two carers would do it together, but in emerge...

Jackie, if the house is not suitable and your husband is difficult, then he should not come back home. Your situation sounds just like mine with my brother, who I 'looked after' for three years until his death. But unlike your husband, he realiized that he needed carers and he was very nice to them,...

He looks really lovely in the video, laughing and grimacing. She says he's got a good sense of humour. I am amazed at the work you do and your time with S.

In Friday's Grayson Perry episode I think the last person whose art he liked was a carer. I thought it was very interesting. Channel 4, can be seen on All4 as catch up, it is Episode 5 of this second series. It comes about 42 minutes in - the programme is 46 minutes long. The work was called Carer-W...

Oh yes, of course, indwelling catheter, hadn't thought of that as for a man you can put the Conveen over the penis and manage (up to a point) without.
