It’s something we hear quite often.

That probate is always a long, complicated process.

In some cases, it can be.

👉🏻 But not always.

A lot depends on the situation — how straightforward the estate is, and whether everything is clearly set out.

In many cases, the process is more manageable than people expect.

Especially with the right support in place to guide things forward.

If you’re unsure what probate might involve in your situation, getting a bit of clarity early on can make a big difference.

A lot of people assume that once the divorce is done, the finances are sorted too.

They're not.

A financial remedy is a separate legal process, it's how the court divides assets, property and pensions between separating couples.

Without it, there is no legally binding financial settlement, no matter how amicable things are.

That means either party could make a financial claim against the other further down the line. Even years later.

The two processes often run alongside each other, but they are not the same thing, and understanding the difference matters.

In this video, Alexandra Davey of 5 St Andrews Hill and Wellers solicitor Helen Warren shed some light on this topic.

Court backlogs are a real issue in family law right now.

A private Financial Dispute Resolution hearing offers a way through.

In this clip, barrister Alexandra Davey of 5 St Andrews Hill and Wellers solicitor Helen Warren discuss why more couples are choosing a private FDR, and what it actually means in practice.

A private FDR carries no more binding weight than a court-based one, but it can move significantly faster and give both parties a clear indication of where they stand, without the wait.

If you're going through a financial settlement, this is worth understanding.

If you're going through a separation, the idea of a court battle over money and assets can feel overwhelming. The good news is that court isn't always the only option.

A Financial Dispute Resolution hearing, or FDR, is a structured process designed to help couples reach agreement on finances without a full court hearing.

Here's how it works:

✅ Both parties set out their financial position in full
✅ A judge or private evaluator reviews the case
✅ They give an indication of what a court is likely to decide
✅ That indication gives both sides a basis to negotiate and agree
✅ Any agreement is then formalised as a court order

It isn't a final decision, but it's often enough to help couples find common ground and move forward without the stress, cost, and delay of a full hearing.

At Wellers, our family law team can advise you on whether an FDR is the right route for your situation.

When a couple with young children separates, one of the most difficult questions is what happens to the family home.

A Mesher Order can provide a practical solution, allowing the primary carer and children to remain in the property until a specified point in the future, such as the youngest child turning 18 or finishing full-time education, at which point the property is sold and the proceeds divided.

It is not the right answer for every situation, but for many families it offers stability at an already difficult time.

Are you a landlord?

There is something you need to do before the end of May.

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 has changed the rules for private landlords, and if you have existing tenants, you have until 31 May 2026 to provide them with prescribed written information or risk a fine of up to £7,000.

Our team has written a plain-English guide to exactly what has changed, what you need to do, and by when.

It takes a few minutes to read and could save you a significant amount of money.

Prenuptial agreements have a reputation for being unromantic. But in reality, they're one of the most practical and caring things a couple can do before they marry.

A prenup sets out clearly what happens to assets (property, savings, a business, an inheritance) if a marriage breaks down.

It protects both of you, not just the wealthier partner.

And when it's done properly, it removes uncertainty at what is already an incredibly difficult time.

Here's what a good prenuptial agreement should cover:

✅ Property owned before the marriage
✅ Savings and investments
✅ Business interests
✅ Inheritance, received or expected
✅ Financial arrangements for children from a previous relationship

One important thing to understand:

👉🏻 a prenup is not automatically legally binding in England and Wales.

A judge can review it during divorce proceedings to make sure it was fair when it was signed, and that it remains fair now.

That's why taking proper legal advice at the outset is so important.

At Wellers, our family law team can guide you through the process from start to finish, making sure your agreement is thorough, balanced, and stands up to scrutiny if it ever needs to.

👉🏻 Most people assume a prenuptial agreement is legally binding. It isn't quite that simple.

And that surprises a lot of people.

If your marriage ends and the agreement is contested, a judge will look at it carefully.

Was it fair when you signed it? Is it still fair now? Those are the questions the court will ask.

In this clip, barrister Alexandra Davey and Wellers solicitor Helen Warren explain what that really means for couples considering a prenup.
