As Illuminate Legal is one year old tomorrow, I would like to thank all those who have supported me, recommended me and even just enquired as to how it's all been going over the last year! It's been a brilliant year, getting to know lots of new clients and looking after them in my own style, in my own way, using the backdrop of the many years of experience and the help and support of my family, friends, former colleagues and those I have met along the way! with huge thanks to all!

Got loved ones to look after if the worst happens?
Make sure your will is watertight – talk to a solicitor
Controversial and steep probate fee increases have been scrapped ahead of the upcoming general election. It's still always worth making sure your estate is in good order and plans are up to date in the event of death. Get in touch if you wish to discuss your own arrangements. Rebecca visits clients in their own homes and can take instructions remotely for those further afield. #probate #wills #election #getorganised #goodnewsforexecutors
The snap election means the controversial legislation cannot go through in time, ministers say.

Buying a house or getting married? Wills aren't just for older people - if you've hit one of these 5 milestones you should contact a solicitor to make your will
Inheritance tax benefit for homeowners!
One of the key considerations for clients is the likely inheritance tax on their estates in the event of their death. It’s good news for homeowners next month as a new piece of legislation comes in to force as of April 2017 that allows for a significant inheritance tax saving when the main residence...
Important news for cohabiting couples - dispelling the rumour of the common law marriage!
It is common place for people to live together these days before they marry; sometimes they choose to purchase a property during this time. Many also have children prior to marriage; approximately 50% of children in 2017 are born to unmarried mothers.* However, when doing all of these ‘grown up’ thi...
Thanks so much to all my clients for their support as the business has gone from strength to strength so far this year!

Do you have children? If so, do you have a Will appointing Guardians to care for them in the event of parental death?
Which? Report that only one in five parents have legally named guardians for their minor children. * When we consider how much time and effort we put in to working hard to look after our children, helping them at school, ensuring they have a nice, safe and secure home, planning for their futures, it...
How can a solicitor help in the event of death?
When someone dies it is often a very difficult and emotional time. There seems to be so much to do and yet there is also a gaping hole, which no amount of ‘busying’ oneself can fill. If the deceased left some money or assets, family hope that matters have been left ‘in order’. Culturally, the discus...

What exactly is a Lasting Power of Attorney? Why might you need one?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is an extremely powerful document. It enables us to appoint someone to deal with our affairs if we are mentally or physically unable to do so for ourselves. Many business people prepare an LPA if they have to travel frequently so that someone can act for them if the...
It's a common question - do I need a Will? So, please take a look at this article and share on your own page if you feel able! Let me know if your have any questions! With very best wishes, Rebecca
Making a Will is something that very few of us want to think about. To consider what may happen in the event of death is too difficult for most of us to imagine and so we just get on with living, with the odd thought that we should get things in order one day. In England, making a Will is...
