Divorce can be difficult for any family, but when a family farm is involved, the challenges can be even greater.

For many farming families, the farm represents much more than a financial asset. It's a home, a business, a livelihood and often a legacy that has been built over generations.

In this carousel, we explore some of the key issues that can arise when agricultural assets are involved in divorce, including inherited land, family partnerships, valuations and the practical steps families can take to protect the future of the farming business.

This insight is based on an article written by Rebecca Jones, Associate and Solicitor in our Family Department, who regularly advises clients on the complex issues that can arise when family relationships and farming businesses intersect.

Recent headlines involving explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes have prompted important discussions about care, capacity, independence and dignity.

When someone loses the ability to make certain decisions for themselves, balancing safety with quality of life can become incredibly challenging. The law requires decision-makers to look beyond a diagnosis and consider the person, their values, wishes, relationships and the life they have lived.

In this carousel, our Court of Protection team explores some of the key questions families often face and how the law seeks to protect vulnerable individuals while preserving their individuality.

Want to learn more?

Our latest article by Jasmine Tottel-Clarke, Trainee Solicitor, takes a closer look at what recent headlines involving Sir Ranulph Fiennes can teach us about the Court of Protection, the Mental Capacity Act, and the importance of balancing safety with personal freedom.
