The Autumn 2024 edition of Title Research’s news digest, Entitlement, is now available.
Entitlement is our industry focused magazine aimed at Solicitors and legal professionals. Our autumn edition is out now.
This quarter we feature the following:
Heledd Wyn, a respected legal industry expert, takes us through the thorny issue of mental capacity and vulnerability, particularly when applied to Lasting Powers of Attorney. What are the legal obligations of both Solicitors and Attorney and how do you protect the client to ensure their best interests are met?
Andrea Pierce, runs her own firm and gives us our second article to consider: Taper Relief and how it relates to Inheritance Tax. With a useful diagram to show how Taper Relief may be applied to an estate, Andrea makes reference to the 'seven year rule' and the importance of knowing what is a gift and what is a Trust.
We also have contributions from our expert team here at Title Research and we cover:
Understanding intestacy and probate genealogy
The risk of Escheatment
and a summary of the autumn Budget
