Blackhurst Budd is seeking a full time Legal Support Assistant/Receptionist.
The courts are frequently tasked with the difficult question of whether maintenance should be paid to a former spouse or civil partner following divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership and, if so, for how much and how long.
Blackhurst Budd Solicitors in Blackpool has been recognised by Cancer Research UK after facilitating over £263,000 worth of gifts from people choosing to leave a legacy to the charity in their will.
As the law currently stands in the UK, inheritance tax will be payable on your estate, typically at a rate of 40%, on anything over and above the threshold of £325,000. This is known as the nil-rate band. As such, if the net value of your estate falls well below this threshold, your worldly wealth can be left to your loved ones entirely tax-free.
It is a common assumption that next of kin will be automatically allowed to manage the affairs of their loved ones in the event that they are no longer able to do so themselves, for example, as a result of accident, illness or infirmity.
As a responsible landlord, it is imperative that you understand your statutory obligations under the new Act, and review any existing letting procedures accordingly, otherwise you potentially face a hefty financial penalty or even criminal conviction.
Blackhust Budd Solicitors have been collecting Easter eggs this week to donate to Blackpool Carers for their Young Carers.
Writing a Will brings peace of mind that your estate will pass to your loved ones.
In 2017 an independent review was undertaken of modern working practices in the UK and how we can benefit from new technologies, emerging business models and changing ways of working whilst ensuring the protection of workers’ rights.
Where a person is not left any money by a loved one after they pass away, either because the deceased died without making a will, or they simply left them out of any will, that person may still be entitled to make a claim against the deceased’s estate.
