My older brother and I have worked on the family farm since leaving school. I wanted to go to university but Dad wouldn’t let me. He said we need to work as partners and preserve the farm for future generations. The problem is we have no formal partnership. Dad just controls everything and pays us a basic wage. As my brother is now marrying into a neighbouring farming family I’m worried I will get squeezed out and I will have given up the chance of a different career for nothing. Is there any way I could get some kind of financial settlement from the farm to help me go my own way?

My mother is moving into a nursing home but we don’t want to sell her house yet. What is the situation regarding council tax when she is in the home, and what happens about it if she passes away and we then sell it? Would she, or we if she has passed, be liable?

I have put as much as I have been able to into my pension pot to fund my retirement. Now, just when I am thinking about retiring, it seems that what’s left of that pension pot when I die could be taxed at 40% rather than being passed on to my wife in full. Do I need to update my Will and include my pension in it?

Leading North Wales and Shropshire law firm, GHP Legal, has announced the qualification of one of its paralegals as a solicitor, after she successfully completed her training contract with the firm on 2^nd October 2025.

I joined a gym after moving into the area. I had to sign up to a year’s membership, but after 2 visits in 2 weeks decided it wasn’t for me as I was less fit than I’d thought. I asked to cancel the membership but my request was refused. I queried the ‘cooling off’ period but was told it did not apply because I had already used the gym. I was really upset and cancelled my standing order, but now I have received a notice from debt collectors. What should I do?

I’ve just discovered my husband is having an affair, and I’m in complete panic. I don’t want to talk to anyone I know about it. So many questions in my head. What happens to our house if we divorce? I gave up work to look after the children, so will I get some of his pension? Please tell me what I need to do.

I made my Will over twenty years ago with my solicitor who is a one-man band, and he has it stored at his premises ever since. He is still practicing but must be getting on for 80 at least, which makes me wonder what will happen to my Will if he dies? Should I ask him for it and store it somewhere else?

Our village is fast turning into a town, with housing estates springing up on every side. Unlike traditional towns, however, we have no shops, no petrol station, no schools, no wide roads and no doctors’ surgery or employment facilities. Those of us who lived here pre the construction invasion have frankly had enough, but despite us objecting en-masse, we are continuously ignored and the planning applications get approved. Should we consider seeking the help of a solicitor to fight our corner?

Government legislation affects almost every aspect of our lives, and decisions about our finances are often based on new rules that we didn’t anticipate when starting to invest or build pensions pots or plan for retirement.
