Court should be viewed as the last resort. Few people attend Court for a divorce. You may have to attend Court in relation to children or financial matters, but we will discuss making any application with you before doing so and will only issue proceedings if you instruct us to do so. Mediation should be attempted first in most cases.

Compensation claims are made up of several parts. Firstly, we claim compensation for the pain and suffering you have experienced as a result of the accident. How much this will be, will be dependent upon your particular case, and its therefore important that you have a specialist solicitor that can advise you as to the value of your claim. Secondly, you are entitled to claim your out of pocket expenses, that have arisen from out of the accident. For example, loss of income, medical charges, travelling expenses, payment to a loved one, who has provided you with care after the accident. Finally, you are also entitled to claim for predicted future losses eg reduction in income, care, treatment charges etc.

A Deed of Variation allows the beneficiaries of an estate to agree to change the way the assets of an estate are distributed. This is often advisable to take advantage of inheritance tax exemptions and for other planning, such as for vulnerable beneficiaries. Our solicitors can advise you fully and prepare any Deed of Variation you may require.

There are sometimes restrictions in the title deeds which prevent extensions or require consent of another landowner. Larger extensions require local authority planning permission and any structural work will also need approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent extensions. You should check these points with your local authority before you commit yourself to a purchase.

In these circumstances, the Court may set aside the disposals. However, again the Court would have to be satisfied that the monies in that account are necessary to meet your claims. The other practical point is that if the monies have been disposed and not put into any other assets then there may be nothing that can be done. Any application would have to be made within 3 years of the transaction.
