Life Interest Trusts: Protecting Your Home and Family

Want to provide for your partner but make sure your home or savings ultimately pass to your children?

A life interest trust can do both. It lets someone benefit from an asset, such as living in your home, for their lifetime, while protecting the underlying capital for the people you choose.

It is a particularly useful tool in second marriages and blended families, and can offer some protection against sideways disinheritance. In his latest article, Adam explains how life interest trusts work, the tax treatment, and when they are, and are not, the right choice.

Applying to the court yourself can feel overwhelming, especially where children are involved. One client came to us for help with a private special guardianship order (SGO), an order that gives someone parental responsibility for a child, and told us:

“I contacted Tayntons for help with a private SGO that I had applied for with the courts, I was having a few issues with it and didn’t know what I was doing.

Tayntons was able to help with all of it including all the issues
I was having but also helped me understand all of the process, they also helped with dealing with any further issues, answer any questions I had but most importantly put me at ease when I had any worries with any of it.”

Helping people feel supported and at ease is at the heart of what our child law team, including Gemma Candlish, does every day.

“Common law marriage” doesn’t exist.

Here’s what that means if you split up.

Many couples believe that living together for long enough gives them the same legal rights as a married couple. In England and Wales, it does not. There is no such thing as “common law marriage.”

If you separate, a cohabiting partner has no automatic right to a share of the other’s property or pension, or to maintenance for themselves, no matter how many years you have been together.

The reassuring part is that there are steps you can take, such as a cohabitation agreement or a declaration of trust, to protect you both. Speak to our family law team to find out where you stand.

World Mental Health Day

Looking after your wellbeing, as well as your legal needs

Today is World Mental Health Day. Legal problems, whether a divorce, an injury, a workplace dispute or the loss of someone close, rarely stay in one part of life. They can weigh heavily on your wellbeing too.

At Tayntons, we know that seeking advice can feel daunting, so our first response is always one of reassurance. We are here to listen, to explain things clearly, and to support you as well as advise you.

If you are struggling, please reach out to someone you trust, your GP, or a charity such as Mind or Samaritans, who are free to call any time on 116 123.

Employment Tribunal Time Limits: The 2026 Rules Explained

The rules have changed. For events on or after 1 October 2026, most employment tribunal claims must now be started within six months less one day, double the previous three-month limit, following the Employment Rights Act 2025.

For events before that date, the older three-month limit still applies.
Miss your deadline and your claim could be over before it starts, so knowing where you stand matters.

Our new guide breaks down the deadlines, how contacting Acas pauses the clock, and the exceptions worth knowing about.

Who would manage your affairs if you couldn't?

None of us likes to think about a day when we can no longer make our own decisions. Yet a stroke, a serious accident or the early onset of dementia can arrive without warning, at any age.

Here is the part that catches so many families out. Without a registered Lasting Power of Attorney in place, no one has an automatic legal right to manage your finances, not even your husband, wife or adult children. Instead, your loved ones would need to apply to the Court of Protection to be appointed as a deputy.

That process is costly, stressful and can take many months. During that time, bills can go unpaid and important decisions can stall, leaving your family in limbo at an already difficult moment. And it is too late to set up an LPA once mental capacity has been lost.

The good news is that putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place is far simpler than most people expect. It lets you choose someone you trust to look after your finances, property or health if you ever cannot, all on your own terms.

Adam Hampson, Head of Private Client at Tayntons, and our team guide you through every step in plain language, so the whole process feels clear and manageable.

Buying or selling a home should be one of life's most exciting steps, not a source of sleepless nights.

Too often, though, slow updates and confusing paperwork turn that excitement into stress.

When you are left in the dark, unsure whether things are on track or what is happening next, even the happiest move can start to feel overwhelming.

That is exactly where we come in. Jenny and our conveyancing team keep things moving and keep you fully informed at every stage, explaining each step in plain language so you always know where you stand. Here is what Barbara Kelly had to say about working with Jenny.

"I had totally professional and consistent communication with Jennifer and her assistants. There was never a time I felt confused or misinformed. I would recommend Tayntons and Jennifer particularly to all my friends and family when needing a solicitor for their conveyancing needs. I am very grateful to them for making it all seem smooth and easy."

Been off sick and worried your doctor might not sign you off?

With the government considering a crackdown on sick notes, more people are being caught out. If you are unwell but unsure of your rights, it is easy to feel pressured and unprotected at the worst possible time.

That worry only grows when you feel pushed back to work before you are ready. Should you self-certify or ask for a fit note? How long can you be off? When money is tight and your health is fragile, getting it wrong can cost you dearly, and no one should face that alone.

Here is the good news. Our employment team explains your sickness rights in plain language, so you know exactly where you stand. From self-certification to fit notes and what to do if a note is refused, we give you clear, practical advice you can rely on.

Rated Excellent on ReviewSolicitors, we are proud to support people right across Gloucestershire.

September 26th is Mesothelioma Awareness Day 2026.

Did you know that symptoms of mesothelioma a rare and aggressive cancer caused almost entirely by asbestos exposure can take between 20 to 60 years to appear?

This incredibly long latency period is why spreading awareness is so vital for early diagnosis, funding life-saving research, and supporting affected families.

At Tayntons Solicitors in Gloucester, we are proud to support this crucial cause. We stand ready to help and support families across Gloucestershire who are navigating the devastating impact of this disease.

Let’s work together to raise awareness, protect those working near asbestos, and ensure no one faces this fight alone.
