Today marks the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

To mark the month, we’ve been hiding Stafford Rocks featuring a Gold Ribbon around Stafford to raise awareness for Childhood Cancer Parents Alliance. An incredible local charity that supports families after a childhood cancer diagnosis.

👀 Keep your eyes peeled while you’re out and about.

🔎 Find a Stafford Rock with a Gold Ribbon?
📸 Take a photo
🪨 Share your find in the Stafford Rocks Facebook group
📍 Tell us where you found it
👋 Tag your friends and get them involved too!

And remember, you can create your own Stafford Rocks too! 🎨 Paint a rock, add a gold ribbon or a message of support, hide it somewhere for someone else to discover and share it with the group.

Every gold ribbon is a reminder of the children and families facing childhood cancer - and every rock is an opportunity to spread awareness and community spirit. 💛

So, let’s get Stafford painting, hiding, finding and sharing throughout September! Join the Stafford Rocks group and help us raise awareness.

How many Gold Ribbon Stafford Rocks can we find? 🪨💛🔎

When someone dies, there can be a lot to deal with - and it isn't always clear what needs to happen first.

From establishing whether there is a Will, to protecting and valuing the estate, obtaining the appropriate Grant and ultimately distributing the estate, there are a number of important legal and practical steps to consider.

Getting things right at the outset can help prevent delays, disputes and potentially costly mistakes later on.

Our team can guide you through the estate administration process, whether you need advice on a particular aspect or would prefer us to handle the full administration for you.

If you need support with an estate, get in touch with our team to discuss your next steps.

Please note, we will be closed on Monday for the bank holiday 📅

A fantastic and insightful session on the upcoming changes to Inheritance Tax and Income Tax on pensions.

Our Wills & Probate team were delighted to attend a collaborative session hosted by Deans Wealth Management, with Ed Marshall and John Corbyn sharing their expertise on what the changes coming into effect from April 2027 could mean for advisers, clients and their families.

It was a really valuable opportunity to explore the practical implications of the new legislation, from pension death benefits and IHT liabilities to expressions of wishes, estate planning and strategies for passing wealth on to future generations.

A big thank you to everyone involved for putting together such an informative and engaging event.

We thoroughly enjoyed the session and the opportunity to connect, share ideas and discuss how we can best support clients through what will be a significant change to the pensions and estate planning landscape.

5 key things to consider before acquiring a business!

Buying a business is about much more than agreeing a price.

Before you sign, there are several areas that can make or break the deal - from choosing the right deal structure and carrying out thorough due diligence, to reviewing contracts, understanding potential liabilities, and planning for integration.

If you’re considering an acquisition, getting the right legal advice early can help you protect your investment and avoid costly surprises.

Thinking about buying a business? Our Corporate Team is here to help!

Did you see our latest article about the Pathfinder route in children proceedings?

The Pathfinder process was introduced across the Midlands, including Stoke-on-Trent, in November 2025, changing the way the Family Court approaches private law children proceedings.

The aim is to put children at the centre of proceedings, identify safeguarding concerns earlier, reduce conflict and help cases progress more efficiently.
But what does the Pathfinder process actually mean if you’re involved in children proceedings?

Our latest article explains:
🔹 How the Pathfinder process differs from the previous approach
🔹 What happens after an application is issued
🔹 The role of Cafcass and the Child Impact Report
🔹 How the process could affect the number of hearings and timescales
🔹 The potential benefits for children and families

Every family’s circumstances are different, and some cases may still require further investigation or hearings.

👉 Read our full article to find out more about the Pathfinder route and what it could mean for you: https://www.nowellmeller.co.uk/site/library/firmnews/pathfinder-route-2026

If you need advice about the Pathfinder process or making a Child Arrangements Order application, our Family Team are here to help!
