Currently more than half of UK adults don’t have a will.

The Housing and Planning Bill has now had its second reading in the House of Lords on 26 January 2016, after passing through the House of Commons.

Most couples will hit a bump at some point along the path of married life. For most, it can be easily overcome, sometimes with marriage counselling, sometimes without.

Congratulations! You’ve signed on the dotted line, eaten cake, drank champagne and danced the Macarena alongside friends and family. You’re officially one half of a married couple.
Today marks the start of international marriage week, celebrating the love and union of two people intending to spend their lives together. If you’re engaged and on the road to wedded bliss, then Congratulations! While organising the venue, flowers and seating plans, a few legal aspects often get overlooked.
To mark the start of #Heartunions week, we look at the precautions an employer must take when dealing with an employee involved in union activity.
