"I'm young and healthy, why would I need an LPA?" 🤔�

It’s a common question! A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) isn't just for later in life - it’s peace of mind for unexpected events like illness or injury.�Without an LPA, family members can struggle to manage bank accounts, pay bills, or make key health decisions on your behalf.�

An LPA protects you from illness, injury or even loss of capacity!

Do the courts treat Halloween and Bonfire Night the same as major holidays? 🍂

While they aren't formally categorised alongside Christmas, Easter, or religious festivals, autumn events can still play a significant role in child arrangements.

The court's primary test remains the same: what is in the best interests of the child? If an event holds value for your family, agreeing on specific arrangements early prevents dispute as the dates approach.

In this video, our Family Law specialists discuss court recognition for Autumn traditions and practical steps for co-parents👇

💬 Speak to our Family Law team today for guidance on child arrangements.

Legal Myth-Busting: Over 3.6 million couples in the UK live together, but did you know there’s legally no such thing as a "common law spouse"?

💡If you live with your partner without being married or in a civil partnership, you don't automatically share property or financial rights if you separate. A Cohabitation Agreement protects both of you and provides total clarity around homes, finances, and shared assets.�

Is your child arrangements agreement ready for Autumn? 🍂 While Christmas and Easter usually take priority, key autumn events like Halloween and Bonfire Night are increasingly important for co-parents to agree on.

Even if these dates aren't formally specified in a court order, parents can still put tailored arrangements in place to ensure children don't miss out on family traditions.

In this video, our Family Law team breaks down how co-parents can navigate non-traditional holidays and whether the courts recognise them 👇
