@SFELawyers The system is not fit for purpose. They must publish their backlog and where they are with applications. What’s the point of a portal if it can’t tell you what is happening with your application? 😡
@Debs_ball@creva It’s really bad and solicitors are getting the blame. We need to lobby for better published information. If HMCTS are working on applications as far back as March 2021, they should have to publish this by posting on the website where they are with the backlog! 😡
The Probate Registry are currently working on applications submitted on 19th April 2021. When will the Government do something about these appalling service levels?
@creva Hugely. Sadly not so for others. I think it’s the stops queue that is causing the issue. The backlog for stops is 19th April, even if you reply same day to their enquiry.
@ofqual@UniversitiesUK@ucas_online The same approach as Wales should have been adopted- there will be zero support in August on results day. I’m dreading it.
@ofqual@UniversitiesUK@ucas_online Ofqual I do not agree that the results are being withheld until August. They should have been published while the school is still open in June/July like in Wales. There will be no support in August as usual on results day 😩😩so unfair
Be careful when a settlor creates a settlor interested trust - you could have a double whammy of a pre-owned asset tax charge as well as the settlor being charged income tax under s.625 ITTOIA 2005 - pars 8 & 9 Sch 15 FA 2004 😱
@solicitorchat Think before you speak. Ask yourself, would I say this to one of my male colleagues? Would I expect this of one of my male colleagues? I spent years battling that issue.
@Zak_Bagans Stay of course but why not cover some more countries - I know you don’t like flying, but you must be running out of spooky venues in Vegas 🤔
@SFELawyers @ElaineRoche It seems a very safe budget, aimed at not upsetting too many people in a time when we’ve all had enough. However, as a Private Client lawyer I was hoping for simplification of the IHT rules. Oh well...
Keeping a record of your digital assets and including these in your will is becoming increasingly important and yet many still fail to do so. Not doing so could cost you or your family an incredible amount of time and money. https://t.co/blRo7t7Nyc
