My wife and I own 14 rental properties, some of which are HMOs. When we passed the official retirement age we decided to put them into a limited company and appoint our daughter and son-in-law as directors and shareholders. Now their marriage is on the rocks and we are concerned what will happen to the business if they divorce and we die. If we restructured the business, could we put it in trust for our daughter?

My mum recently passed away but I’m not sure if she made a Will. My dad died a few years ago and I don’t think that he made one either. What should I do? And what happens if she did not make one?

Please can you advise? I am sole executor of my cousin’s Will. He died last year and getting probate is taking a while. The main beneficiary of his Will was his wife. When he died she was alive and well, but then she died suddenly from an unexpected heart attack a few weeks ago. I am not an executor of her Will. Will the inheritance she would have received from my cousin’s Will now become part of her estate, to be passed on in accordance with her Will?

There is so much bad press these days about holidays and what can happen to the consumer when things go wrong, I am nervous about booking a holiday online through one of the travel portals. If I were to book a flight and hotel separately, as opposed to buying a readymade ‘package holiday’, would I have any legal protection?

I have remarried but my children are from my first marriage and my new wife has children from her previous marriage. How can I make sure that only my own children benefit from my estate if I die before my wife, and still ensure that she is sufficiently provided for during her lifetime.

How many medical intervention decisions are based on statistics rather than on the evidence presented by patients who know their own bodies? Those whose lives have been cut short because of an initial misdiagnosis would say ‘too many’.

So why are there so many missed opportunities for early intervention, and what can victims do to get justice?

A friend of ours is being divorced by her husband. They have run a farm together for over 30 years. The farm originally belonged to her family, but her husband says it will have to be sold so that the assets can be split. He is arguing that he has done most of the physical work and managed the farm whilst she brought up their children. She is devastated as the farm was set up by her grandparents and she considers it is her family farm. Can he really force a sale?

I manage a team of 14 people, several of whom are working parents. It has always been company policy to give priority to working parents when it comes to annual leave requests during school holidays. There is one member of staff, however, who has no children but whose wife works as a teacher. He is a good employee whom I would hate to lose, but he is very angry that he is never allowed to take his leave during school holidays when his wife is off. I have spoken to head office about it, but they are adamant that they are sticking to company policy – no kids, no school holiday leave. Isn’t this discrimination?

We have just had our first child and want to make our Wills. However, we have discovered it isn’t as straightforward as we thought it would be. We have heard people mention single Wills, mirror Wills and Trust Wills. Please can you explain the differences.

My mum moved into a care home following a stroke. She is unable to speak or write but still has mental capacity. I am unhappy with her care and have been fobbed off by the home whenever I have questioned unexplained bruising on her. There have been other things too. I cannot get her moved as there are no nearby vacancies and so haven’t pushed a complaint in case they take it out on her. Now a former employee of the care home has told me things that justify my concerns. Could I bring a negligence claim on Mum’s behalf? If so, what do I need to prove?
