Legal Resources and News

Read jargon-free articles and guidance pieces written in-house by our solicitors and keep up to date with what's happening at Neves.

At Neves our goal is to give our client’s peace of mind that after their passing their affairs and wishes will be dealt in accordance with their faith yet valid under English Law. For example we aim to ensure that wills prepared on behalf of our Muslim clients are compliant with not only their faith but comply with the requirements of English Law.

Discussions regarding future-proofing or protecting your partner’s or family’s financial security often focus on Wills. Wills are certainly important but have you also considered what would happen if you or your partner lost mental capacity?

When it comes to owning property abroad it is important to understand the laws of succession in that jurisdiction in the event of the owner’s death.

The topic was Wills and Probate, but in considering what to talk about we were very aware that genealogists and family historians are looking at old Wills and Probates differently from solicitors. In particular they are using them to seek out clues about their ancestors whereas of course solicitors are using them as a means of legally transferring assets after someone has died.

Like many, I sat down last Tuesday evening to watch the BBC’s new drama The Split. As a family lawyer you might expect that I would avoid an hour long programme about divorce and separation after a full day in the office dealing with the same; however I was intrigued to see how my profession would be portrayed on television.
