Important stuff, this 👇, with unmarried cohabitees on the up due to #lockdown measures

The law gives very little protection to unmarried partners on death, so #Wills are extra important

@LawyerStewartD @STEPSociety @BlackaddersLLP I've been rumbled! 🤣

[Corah Franco @CorahJEdgar]

First of the @STEPSociety Diploma workshops for Wills and Executires today and a successful, interactive online discuss lead by @LawyerStewartD. My workstation is a little less glamorous - using the old trusty trestle table while I pick a new desk 🙈 @BlackaddersLLP

Very good video on Self-Directed Support from the good people at @VOCALEdinburgh

If you are considering SDS on behalf of someone that is not mentally capable, it is important (and sometimes essential) that you have either #PowerofAttorney or #Guardianship. We can help! 👍

Do you have a business interest? Do you have a Will? Informative blog for business owners by @LawyerStewartD. ⬇️

[Stewart Dunbar @LawyerStewartD]

My latest blog titled "Succession Planning for Business Owners" 👇

In which we look at exit-planning, Wills (legacies of business assets, choosing executors), inheritance tax & Legal Rights.

All big topics on their own, but here's a place to start!

[Stewart Dunbar @LawyerStewartD]

Interesting and (I'm sure) welcome news on video-witnessing of #Wills in England & Wales.

This is already possible in Scotland, and we've been making very frequent use of it throughout #lockdown.
