“We’ll sort it between ourselves.”

This is something we hear often - especially in family situations.

But informal agreements can lead to problems later, particularly where property or land is involved.

Without clear legal documentation, situations can become difficult to resolve.

Getting advice early can prevent issues down the line.

A will exists… but no one can find it.

This can create real difficulties for families.

Without the original signed will:

• the process becomes more complex
• delays are likely
• the estate may not be distributed as intended

Making a will is important - but so is making sure it can be located when needed.

You’ve been asked to be an executor… but what does that actually involve?

It’s more than many people expect.

An executor may need to:

• locate assets
• deal with outstanding debts
• apply for probate
• distribute the estate

It’s an important responsibility - and it’s okay to get advice before taking it on.

Thinking of selling your house? Don’t wait until you accept an offer to speak to a solicitor.

This is where many delays start.

We often see issues come up late in the process, such as:

• missing documents
• planning or compliance questions
• title or boundary issues

By the time these arise, a buyer may already be waiting.

Speaking to a solicitor early can help identify and resolve issues before your property goes to market.

A will isn’t a ‘one and done’ document.

It should be reviewed as your life changes.

Over time:

• family circumstances can change
• property can be bought or sold
• relationships can evolve

If your will no longer reflects your current situation, it may not achieve what you intended.

A simple review can ensure everything is up to date.

You buy a house together… but one of you pays most of the mortgage.

What happens if things change later?

It’s not always as simple as a 50/50 split - even if both names are on the property.

Issues around ownership and financial contributions can become important in:

• separations
• disputes
• or future decisions about the property

Getting advice early can help avoid uncertainty later on.

A parent promises land to one child… but nothing is in writing.

This is one of the most common causes of disputes we see.

Without formal legal documentation:

• intentions can be challenged
• other family members may have different expectations
• the situation can become difficult to resolve

Verbal agreements rarely hold up when circumstances change.

Have an extension and thinking of selling? Read this first.

If work has been carried out on your property, your solicitor will need to check:

• planning permission (if required)
• certificates of compliance
• confirmation the work meets regulations

If these documents aren’t available, it can delay your sale - or require additional steps before things can move forward.

Checking this early can save time, stress, and back-and-forth later.

A question for homeowners

If you were selling your property tomorrow, would your paperwork be ready?

Important documents often include:

• title deeds
• planning permissions
• compliance certificates
• property maps

Having these ready early can make the selling process far smoother.

Did you know?

Many property delays occur because of historic planning issues.

For example:

• extensions built without permission
• alterations without compliance certificates
• missing planning documentation

These issues may need to be resolved before a sale can complete.
