I have seen a lot on the news about the Prison Capacity Crisis and various things the Government are planning to do to ease it. However, there is so much different stuff being bandied about in the papers and other media that I’m really confused about whether my partner stands a chance of being released early.

A member of staff at Wrexham’s leading law firm, GHP Legal, has joined the throng of people across the UK who are running to raise funds in aid of Motor Neurone Disease.

Ant Watkin, who works in the Debt Recovery department at GHP Legal’s head office in Grosvenor Road, Wrexham, is now almost halfway through a planned month-long challenge that will see him run a total of 60 miles by the end of August.

The Partners of leading North Wales law firm GHP Legal are saddened to announce the death of one of the firm’s most experienced Criminal lawyers.

Henry Hills MA, a Solicitor and Crown Court Advocate specialising in Criminal Law, passed away on Monday 5^th August 2024 following a short illness.

I have worked for my current employer for almost twelve years and believe I have done my job well. However, I have just been overlooked for promotion for the fourth time in two years and I believe it is because my director made personal advances towards me that I rejected. At the time I was very upset as the advances were tantamount to sexual harassment, but I didn’t tell anyone as I found it embarrassing and believed a complaint might be held against me.

My current husband and I have recently married. We each have two grown-up children from previous marriages and sold our homes to pool resources and buy a new home together. Now we need to make new Wills. We want to ensure our surviving spouse has a lifetime interest in our home if one of us dies and that all our children get an equal share of our estate. To keep costs down, should we make a joint Will?

I trust my fiancé implicitly, but my family are more sceptical and think I should set up a pre-nuptial agreement before we get married in October, to protect the sizeable inheritance I got from my grandparents. It is worth mentioning that my girlfriend comes from a less privileged background than I do and earns only a fraction of what I earn as a director of my family’s business. What is your view on prenups?

I rarely saw my cousin in later years but am sole executor of his Will. He now has terminal cancer, so I will soon need to execute my duties. Because I know so little of his affairs, I am worried about knowing what, if any, debts he has that need paying, and how I can ensure I am not held personally liable if I miss any. It seems insensitive to ask him. What can I do?

A Wrexham trainee solicitor who developed a passion for criminal law whist carrying out Court Reporting during her undergraduate degree course in journalism has qualified as a Police Station Representative following successful completion of a Critical Incidents Test and Written Portfolio.

Q:      We have lived in a park home since retiring, but now want to move nearer our son. The site we are on is small and changed hands two years ago. The new owners insist they must approve any newcomers. This is making it very difficult for anyone to sell. We think they hope to eventually clear the site and then sell the land off for development. Do they really have the right to dictate to us who we sell to?

A friend has asked me to be an executor of her Will. I don’t want to upset her by refusing, but as I have no idea what is involved in the administration of an estate, I am concerned about making a mistake and what my liabilities might be if I got something wrong.
