Hindle Campbell Law are here to help you at this emotional time whether or not the deceased left a valid Will.
We can advise you on:
Identifying the Estate Assets and valuing the Estate
Identifying the Estate debts and valuing them
Preparing the grant application including the HM Revenue account
Calculating inheritance tax reliefs and deductions
Preparing Capital gains and income tax returns
Liaising with HM Revenue and Customs
Matters of Nil Rate band trusts
Insolvent Estates
Contentious probate disputes
Letters of Administration where no Will exists.
Depending on the size and complexity of the Estate we can charge our costs on a fixed fee or by hourly billing charging rate, whichever is best for the client.
If you are married or in a civil partnership and do not make a current Will, then any existing Will remains valid which might not be what you want if it provides for your ex-partner. If you do not have a Will then until you remarry your partner automatically will inherit your assets which might not be what you want.
On marriage any existing Will becomes void, this applies if you have been divorced or have never been married the result will be that your partner will inherit what you have left as if you had no Will.
The only way to make sure that you have peace of mind knowing that in the event of your death you have made provision for the care and maintained of children and or relatives, and that what you own goes to who you want it to is by making a Will.
You can also protect your well-being, finances and those who are dear to you by making a lasting power of attorney. This gives authority to people you trust to administer your finances and affairs if you become mentally or physically incapacitated in the future. This can be cancelled by you at any time if you are still of capacity, but cannot be entered into if you have lost capacity, so delay is not recommended.
To find out more contact us to arrange an appointment.
If you have obtained an injunction or in certain other cases where there is proof that you have been a victim of domestic abuse legal aid can be available to help you with divorce, financial matters and arrangements for children.
If you need to make an application for an order that a child lives with you and this is supported by social services legal aid can be available to help you with the legal costs.
If social services are involved with your child and decide to make an application to court to potentially remove your child from your care you are automatically entitled to legal aid to instruct a specialist lawyer to represent you throughout the proceedings free of charge regardless of your income. Our solicitors who are members of the Law Society Children Panel specialise in helping parents at this very difficult time.
Sometimes, social services may ask you to attend a meeting about your children. These meetings are very serious legal meetings called “PLO Meetings”. PLO stands for Public Law Outline. You will receive a letter saying:
“LAST OPPORTUNITY TO STOP YOUR CHILDREN BEING REMOVED FROM YOUR CARE”
You must bring this letter with you and you will be seen urgently by one of our family lawyers. You will be entitled to free representation regardless of your income. Our lawyer will reassure you and make arrangements to attend the meeting with you.
We offer a free, no obligation initial appointment for up to 30 minutes where you can receive practical information about all other questions you may have, so get in touch today to make a free appointment with a specialist local lawyer and know your options.
If this affects you and you need to talk to someone in confidence about what you can do to stop the abuse please contact Clare Usher or Amir Assadi now by phone on 0191 296 1777 or by confidential e-mail to lawyer@hindle-campbell.co.uk to arrange a free initial consultation to discuss how we can help you.
Legal Aid has now been extended to cover the repercussions of domestic abuse, such as sorting out finances and arrangements for children
We can apply to a court by way of an emergency injunction. If the court is satisfied that you are at risk of harm, they can issue an emergency order there and then without your partner knowing until after the order is made. If they break the order they can face arrest and imprisonment.
We have contacts with a number of domestic abuse refuges and can act immediately to put in place the necessary court applications to protect you. We can put you in touch with specialist agencies who we work with closely, who can offer emotional and practical support to victims of domestic abuse.
