GHP Legal proudly took part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day this year, uniting staff across all offices to raise funds and awareness for vulnerable children in the UK and around the world.

Christmas is the season of goodwill and an Oswestry law firm that played its part by sponsoring Shropshire’s largest Santa run has hailed the event a great success.

The Oswestry Santa Run, staged by Adrenalin Sporting Events, has grown year on year, and GHP Legal, which has two long established offices in the town, has provided sponsorship for many of the organisation’s fundraising events since its inception.

My husband fell out with his wealthy grandparents when he was in his twenties, but when I started dating him I persuaded him to try and build some bridges with them for the sake of the rest of the family. We eventually went to see them and I got on with them immediately and subsequently became very close to them. They thought the world of me and before we got married they gave us some valuable things for our new home.

Last year my mum and dad set up Lasting Powers of Attorney and they each appointed me as their property and finances Attorney. They held joint bank accounts, but my dad has just passed away. From everything I have read, my understanding is that the authority for an Attorney to handle the donor’s affairs from a Lasting Power of Attorney ends upon the Donor’s death. So, does this mean, as I was dad’s Attorney, that I cannot access their joint accounts?

Christmas is the season of goodwill and Oswestry law firm, GHP Legal, is once again playing its part by sponsoring Shropshire’s largest Santa run.

Taking place on Sunday 7^th December, Oswestry’s historic town centre will be flashing red as hundreds of ‘Santas’ don their crimson suits and take to the streets to raise money for local good causes and community wellbeing.
