After losing a loved one, knowing what to do next can feel overwhelming.

From registering the death and arranging the funeral, to locating important documents and dealing with financial and legal matters, there are a number of steps that need to be taken, often within specific timeframes.

Anishah Kaur, a solicitor in our Wills and Estates team, has written a guide to provide clear, practical support for those going through this process, including what needs to be done in the first few days and the key responsibilities involved in administering an estate.

Having a clearer understanding of what needs to be done, and when, can help make things feel more manageable during an already difficult time.

A huge well done to Nick McMahon, Megan Knight, Jamie Jaskolka, Kacie Ward, Alicia Lunn and Eleanor Monnelly, who completed the Leeds 10K on Sunday 14 June in support of Simon on the Streets.

The team ran with great determination and together raised an incredible £1,652.00 for the Leeds‑based charity, which provides vital outreach support to people experiencing homelessness across Leeds and Bradford.

It’s a fantastic achievement that reflects both the team’s effort and the generosity of everyone who supported them.

Everyone at Morrish is incredibly proud of the team!

Our Partner and Head of Family Law, Noelle Heath, has been featured in the Yorkshire Post discussing the challenges summer holiday arrangements can present for separated parents.

With routines changing and plans around childcare, travel and time off needing to be coordinated, this time of year can quickly become a pressure point. Without clear agreement in advance, small misunderstandings can easily develop into avoidable difficulties and conflict.

Planning ahead, communicating early and keeping arrangements focused on the needs of the child can make a real difference in helping things run more smoothly.

At Morrish, we understand these situations aren’t always straightforward, and our family team is here to offer clear, practical support.

Separated parents across Yorkshire are being encouraged to plan ahead for the summer holidays to avoid disputes over child contact arrangements.

Care and assistance claims are often an essential part of personal injury cases.

Despite this, the level of support required after an injury can have a significant impact on day to day life, whether provided by professional carers or by family and friends. When that support is not fully recognised, those involved can end up carrying the burden themselves, both practically and financially.

Understanding how this support is assessed, and ensuring it is properly recognised, can make a meaningful difference to the outcome of a claim.

In his latest article, trainee solicitor Hamzah Nadeem explores how care and assistance claims are approached in practice.

Care and assistance claims can cover both short-term support during recovery and longer-term needs, including help with everyday tasks.

£52,000 settlement following misdiagnosis.

We secured a £52,000 settlement for a case involving the misdiagnosis of metastatic cancer, which led to unnecessary investigations and a highly distressing experience.

The case, handled by clinical negligence solicitor Jade Spenceley, identified that earlier imaging findings had not been properly communicated — ultimately resulting in a later misdiagnosis and avoidable procedures.

Commenting on the case, Jade said the client had been wrongly led to believe she had life‑limiting cancer, causing significant psychological harm and distress for both her and her family.

With the Leeds 10K taking place this weekend, the Morrish team have been busy raising money in support of Simon on the Streets.

This week, we hosted our own Bake Off, with some impressive efforts and plenty of friendly competition. Mia’s millionaire shortbread took the top spot after a very close judging round, just edging out Kacie’s Biscoff blondie.

A brilliant team effort all round, with contributions from across the firm. Together, we raised £115 for Simon on the Streets, supporting the vital work they do in our community.

The team is now ready and looking forward to taking on the Leeds 10K this Sunday. If you would like to support, there is still time to donate. Every contribution makes a difference.
