On 17th August, the EU Regulation on Succession came into force in an attempt to simplify the law around succession of assets if a person passes away having owned property in more than one country in the European Union. Jane Cox, Private Client Lawyer, here explains exactly what this means for citizens living in the UK, and what steps you need to take with reference to your Will.
No matter the reason for a divorce, all couples will be feeling hurt, confused and possibly betrayed by the loss of trust in their relationship. During proceedings there may be the temptation to find out if a spouse is seeing a new partner, maybe looking for evidence of adultery taking place, or to see if they are hiding assets during financial proceedings.

When discussing careers it’s rare these days to find a person who spends almost 60 years with the same firm, and even rarer for them to stay in contact once they retire! The team at Warner Goodman LLP are lucky enough to have such former colleagues, and recently showed their appreciation when they arranged a meal to celebrate the 80th birthday of John Locke, who spent 58 years with the firm and still visits the office regularly.
