The FCA has issued a warning to cconsumers about pre-paid probate plans. Be very careful about these products and instead speak to a solicitor who can advise exactly what is, or isn't, needed https://t.co/A5TZTIZsAo

🚨BREAKING: The Court of Justice of the European Union has held that public registers containing the personal details of beneficial owners infringe fundamental rights. They are illegal. https://t.co/6D3c8z2VxD

It is now taking up to 20 weeks to register an LPA. How can this ever be in the interests of the vulnerable people that LPAs are supposed to be available to use to support and the OPG are supposed to help protect?

If you’re in @NHS_Lothian you can add ‘preferred name’ on TRAK easily on the demographic tab 👍

A desperate day for Archie Battersbee's parents. Even when the relationship between family & hospital is strong, these situations are heartbreaking. When trust breaks down, even more so.

Some of the media reports have been confusing, so here's a short thread about brain death /

@Liz_ORiordan @IsobelBall5 Too many commentators missing the point. Definitely butter first but after that, who cares? Personally I'd go butter, jam then cream but as long as they are all there, does it matter? Good looking scones though!

I urge everyone to read this piece. It’s important

Alternatively, if you’re a legal, health care or other professional with experience of LPAs, you can also take part in user research and testing.

@OPGGovUK An application that is with you for registration was referred internally by you to your Complaints Dept on 28/03/22 but I haven't heard from them since. How do I complain about your Complaints Dept?

Terrific! A clear explanation of evidence for drugs in agitation in dementia. And good questions to ask: eg are symps distressing? For whom? Might side effects be beneficial (honesty 👏)? And a v kind mention thank you I’m honoured @RichardLehman1 @CharSquires @CochraneUK

Out before Christmas holiday - The Non-Contentious #Probate Fees (Amendment) Order 2021 (SI 2021/1451) aligns the fees charged to professionals and non-professionals by @HMCTSgovuk when applying for grants to a single fee of £273 from 26 January 2022. https://t.co/DZRhvAsIM1

We have also arranged for Father Christmas to make a special visit to the Halcon Centre on Hamilton Road and near the Inner/ Outer circle on the 17th of December.

[Taunton Round Table @TauntonRT140]

Thank you to everyone from Monkton Heathfield who came out to see Father Christmas tonight 🎅🏻🥰🎄.

See you tomorrow Priorswood!

Why do the #AA #AutomobileAssociation do it every year - send a ridiculously high renewal as against what I can get on the website and then when I ring today, in response to a renewal letter dated 25th August, I'm told to ring nearer to the renewal date because of COVID. Really?

[David Satchell @Petherton_David]

So great to be up and running this week at the new John Hodge Solicitors office at the Regional Rural Business Centre at J24. Looking forward to welcoming clients old and new and thanks to all those clients and contacts who have been in touch already over the last few months.
