Soaring Inheritance Disputes Reported

It is being reported, that there was a huge spike regarding disputes over inheritance mattersduring 2021. The increase has surprised many within the legal profession, which has amounted to a 72% rise. This is partly due to relatives quarrelling and arguing over smaller amounts as well as larger asset values. Very often, this is evident where the Deceased left no Will and instead, the laws of Intestacy (dying without a valid Will) come into play. Very often, the strict rules may overlook the true wishes or intentions of the Deceased, regarding the distribution of their assets. There is a need, to...

In fact, Economists as well as Historians, state there's not been so much disruption, fall in incomes and sadly, closures, since the 2nd World War. 2020 - 2021 has been filled with doom and gloom all-round. What we have noticed however, is an increasing trend amongst Small Business Owners, to diversify and develop their business model into other areas/sectors and alternative marketplaces. They say that "Necessity is the Mother of Invention", and this is borne out by the number of people who have effectively dumped their...

In a recent surprise announcement, which has excited the UK business world, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced that existing Bounce Back Loans can be topped up. This applies to businesses that previously di not borrow the maximum amount permitted under the scheme (ie, 25% of total annual or expected annual turnover).

Whilst the Covid19 Pandemic has caused massive disruption and untold wreckage during the lockdown period, those who site their caravans on holiday parks are muddled as to wehther they have any rights, by way of access or compensation. Some park owners have been very reasonable by refunding owners or granting a credit of fees on a pro-rata basis. Some have been less forthcoming by keeping all the fees offering nothing at all. A recent artricle appearing on the moneysavingexpert.com website, suggests that...

Over this past 3 weeks we have seen a progressive decline in society and the economy due to the spreading of Covid19 (Coronavirus). Over the past week this has gone from bad to worse as people stay home, the economy spirals downwards, and businesses are forced to close.

People are becoming ill, panicked and businesses are closing at an astonishing rate, partly due to the Governments closure orders. Make no mistake – this is not...
