While many people associate Wills with providing for children and grandchildren, estate planning is just as important for those without direct descendants.

From deciding who should inherit your assets to supporting the charities and causes closest to your heart, a well-prepared Will ensures your wishes are carried out and helps provide clarity for those you leave behind.

Every family and every estate is different, which is why tailored advice can make all the difference.

If you're considering making a Will, reviewing an existing one, or discussing wider estate planning options, our Wills, Trusts & Probate team is here to help. If you have any queries, contact a member of our friendly team on 01752 292 292 or email [email protected].

How long is left on your lease?

Many leaseholders don't realise the impact a shortening lease can have until they come to sell or remortgage their property. A statutory lease extension can help protect your property's value, remove ground rent and provide long-term security.

One of the biggest factors is the 80-year threshold, as lease extension costs can often increase once a lease drops below this point.

Swipe through for a simple guide to how statutory lease extensions work, the common pitfalls to avoid, and why acting early could save you time, money and stress.

Many serious conditions don't always present with obvious symptoms at first.

Jess's Rule was introduced following the tragic death of Jessica Brady, whose cancer was diagnosed only after numerous healthcare appointments. The initiative encourages healthcare professionals to pause, review, and rethink when patients return with persistent or worsening symptoms.

The message for all of us? If symptoms continue, it's okay to seek further advice, ask questions, and advocate for your health.

Whilst Jess's Rule is designed to improve patient safety, delayed diagnoses can still happen. If you have concerns about how your symptoms were investigated, or the impact a delayed diagnosis has had on you or a loved one, our specialist Medical Negligence team is here to provide compassionate, confidential guidance.
