1.0% of the value of cash, savings, shares, investments and moveable assets

We will always charge the value element but this may be discounted by up to 100%. For instance, surviving spouses inheriting the whole estate of the first spouse to die will usually receive a 100% deduction. In making a decision, we will consider the circumstances of each case and make an assessment of risk. For examples of relevant factors taken into consideration, please see below.

However, the value element is a reflection of the skill of the lawyer in identifying assets and making sure that the wishes of the deceased are processed with discernment, efficiency and with the interests of the beneficiary's paramount.

Every estate is different and so it is important we consider each individual matter carefully before confirming an estimate. We have set out below some of the factors that we take into consideration once we have further information whereupon we can provide a reliable estimate and confirm whether or not a value element will be charged.

Whether there a valid Will

Who are the Personal Representatives? Can we easily identify them? The value of the estate

Are there any available reliefs for Inheritance Tax (including the Transferrable Nil Rate Band and the Residence Nil Rate Band)?

Is there agricultural property? Are there business assets?

The number of beneficiaries (and their ages) Whether there are disputes between beneficiaries

The person in charge of your matter and their hourly charge-out rate

Disbursements

Disbursements are costs related to Probate matters that are payable to third parties, such as court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

Disbursements that are additional to Probate services stated are:

If there is no Will or the estate consists of shareholdings (stocks and bonds) there will be additional costs and this will range depending on the estate. A more accurate quote can be provided once we have received further information.

Value Element

The Law Society permits solicitors to charge a value element on probate matters. The value element is payable in addition to our fees, VAT and disbursements.

The amount of the value element is set by the Law Society and is: 0.5% of the value of land and fixed property

1.0% of the value of cash, savings, shares, investments and moveable assets

We will always charge the value element but this may be discounted by up to 100%. For instance, surviving spouses inheriting the whole estate of the first spouse to die will usually receive a 100% deduction. In making a decision, we will consider the circumstances of each case and make an assessment of risk. For examples of relevant factors taken into consideration, please see below.

However, the value element is a reflection of the skill of the lawyer in identifying assets and making sure that the wishes of the deceased are processed with discernment, efficiency and with the interests of the beneficiary's paramount.

Relevant Factors

Every estate is different and so it is important we consider each individual matter carefully before confirming an estimate. We have set out below some of the factors that we take into consideration once we have further information whereupon we can provide a reliable estimate and confirm whether or not a value element will be charged.

Whether there a valid Will

Who are the Personal Representatives? Can we easily identify them? The value of the estate

Is the estate subject to Inheritance Tax?

Are there any available reliefs for Inheritance Tax (including the Transferrable Nil Rate Band and the Residence Nil Rate Band)?

Is there agricultural property? Are there business assets?

The number of bank accounts The number of other investments

The number of beneficiaries (and their ages) Whether there are disputes between beneficiaries

The person in charge of your matter and their hourly charge-out rate

Disbursements

Disbursements are costs related to Probate matters that are payable to third parties, such as court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

Disbursements that are additional to Probate services stated are:

If there is no Will or the estate consists of shareholdings (stocks and bonds) there will be additional costs and this will range depending on the estate. A more accurate quote can be provided once we have received further information.

Dealing with the sale or transfer of any property in the estate is not included.

On average estates are dealt within a 6 - 15 month period. Where Inheritance Tax is payable to HMRC, estates cannot be concluded until a HMRC Clearance Certificate is received. A HMRC Clearance

Value Element

The Law Society permits solicitors to charge a value element on probate matters. The value element is payable in addition to our fees, VAT and disbursements.

The amount of the value element is set by the Law Society and is: 0.5% of the value of land and fixed property

1.0% of the value of cash, savings, shares, investments and moveable assets

We will always charge the value element but this may be discounted by up to 100%. For instance, surviving spouses inheriting the whole estate of the first spouse to die will usually receive a 100% deduction. In making a decision, we will consider the circumstances of each case and make an assessment of risk. For examples of relevant factors taken into consideration, please see below.

However, the value element is a reflection of the skill of the lawyer in identifying assets and making sure that the wishes of the deceased are processed with discernment, efficiency and with the interests of the beneficiary's paramount.

Relevant Factors

Every estate is different and so it is important we consider each individual matter carefully before confirming an estimate. We have set out below some of the factors that we take into consideration once we have further information whereupon we can provide a reliable estimate and confirm whether or not a value element will be charged.

Whether there a valid Will

Who are the Personal Representatives? Can we easily identify them? The value of the estate

Is the estate subject to Inheritance Tax?

Are there any available reliefs for Inheritance Tax (including the Transferrable Nil Rate Band and the Residence Nil Rate Band)?

Is there agricultural property? Are there business assets?

The number of bank accounts The number of other investments

The number of beneficiaries (and their ages) Whether there are disputes between beneficiaries

The person in charge of your matter and their hourly charge-out rate

Disbursements

Disbursements are costs related to Probate matters that are payable to third parties, such as court fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

Disbursements that are additional to Probate services stated are:

If there is no Will or the estate consists of shareholdings (stocks and bonds) there will be additional costs and this will range depending on the estate. A more accurate quote can be provided once we have received further information.

Dealing with the sale or transfer of any property in the estate is not included.

On average estates are dealt within a 6 - 15 month period. Where Inheritance Tax is payable to HMRC, estates cannot be concluded until a HMRC Clearance Certificate is received. A HMRC Clearance

They will also be able to help if there are any problems with the transactions. A commercial transaction lawyer understands completely that money is a sensitive factor to a business and the right commercial transaction lawyer will treat this with care.

Having a commercial transaction lawyer help with all of your business transactions is better because business transactions can get a little more complicated than a normal day-to-day transactions. Whether it is business to business or it is a government transaction. There are many different transactions that you do not even think about when going into business.

What Copyright Solicitors Are And What They Can Do For You In The UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Being an artist in any form is incredible and any artist that creates art knows exactly what type of work goes into creating a special and unique piece of work. Whether it is a song, a dance number, or a script for a play. No matter what you are creating, there is continuous energy that goes into creating the art piece. That is why when it is created, there is a mad rush to have it with a copyright. In the efforts of having your unique piece of art copyrighted, more often than not, you will probably have to have copyright solicitors in the UK get involved. When choosing your copyright solicitors you must do the correct research as you want to make sure that you are going to be covered fully with your piece of art.

Many people say that the purpose of copyright law is to protect the creative community with their rights. The beauty of being able to have a piece of work copyrighted is the fact that more people are encouraged to take part in the creative space when they know they are going to have the exclusive rights to the work and no one should have the chance to plagiarise the work in any way. Here are a few things that copyright solicitors can do for you and the artwork that you have created.

One of the ways copyright solicitors will help you is through their expertise. As an artist, you know how to create your art of choice. When it comes to the paperwork, there is a chance you have no idea where to even begin the process. When you have the assistance of copyright solicitors that you trust, they will be able to explain the entire process and take you through everything. They will also be able to start the process of copyrighting your artwork. When you are choosing your copyright solicitor, you need to make sure that they are fully specialised in copyright law. This is going to put you ahead of the game when you are having to have a piece of artwork done. When you hire a solicitor to do this, you are also allowing yourself to continue creating art, like you do best.

The right copyright solicitors will also ensure that you are set up correctly with the copyrights of your artwork. You will then be confident to put your artwork into the world without worrying about it being duplicated or plagiarised. This will put you at ease completely, and as mentioned previously, it often inspires people to create more art. The right solicitor will put you at ease about this process and they will not allow anything to go wrong. If anything in the process does go wrong, they will know exactly how to handle it with ease. If a lawyer makes you feel uneasy in any way about your legal proceedings, it is often better to just look out for a replacement. While legal costs can work out quite costly, you want to make sure that you are happy about the entire process.

There are many reasons to look at hiring copyright solicitors in the UK. Whether you are looking for their expertise or you are looking at. How they can make the process much more manageable. Be sure to do the right amount of research as this is going to make a huge impact and difference on your copyright experience with your artwork that you are ready to show the world. The right legal firm will put you at ease completely.

The High Standards That You Should Look For In A Law Firm In The UK

The High Standards That You Should Look For In A Law Firm In The UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you are lucky, you would have never come into contact with the idea of having to hire a lawyer. Most people across the world have come to an instance in their life when they have had to look for the assistance of a lawyer. Thankfully if a legal firm's standards are high enough, there shouldn't be any problems with dealing with a team of lawyers. Whether it is family law, or it is commercial, or criminal law, you should be put at ease with the right lawyer looking after your case. There are many law firms across the United Kingdom specifically that have many qualifications and years of experience under their belts that should help to put you ahead of your game when it comes to your legal proceedings. While in some cases you can represent yourself in court, it is very highly recommended that you look at hiring a lawyer in any case that you do have to go into court. This will just give you peace of mind. While you know how to do your job, a lawyer knows exactly how to do theirs and this will put you in a better place to understand what is going on when you are in a very intimidating courtroom. Here are a few high standards that you should look for when looking for the right law firm in the UK.

One of the first factors that you should be looking for in the law firm you are choosing to help you with your case is an obvious one. You want to make sure that the law firm you have chosen has a very good reputation and a high success rate. There are many ways to ensure this. You can make sure that your law firm of choice has come recommended by family or friends. If you are looking for a traditional way of finding a reputation, you can have a quick look at the reviews of a company. This is going to give you a really good idea of how people feel about a company. Generally, the reviews will never be one hundred percent good, but this should be taken with a pinch of salt. There are never going to be people who are always happy with service. If there are generally good reviews, then you can rest assured that you will be receiving good service.

A good law firm will also have a wide variety of legal coverage. Make sure that you choose a law firm that has a good number of different types of law covered, this way if you build a relationship with them, you should be able to use them across the board if you have other legal issues that you might have in the future. When it comes to the team in the law firm, a law firm with high standards will have a wide variety of different expertise that stems from a range of different experiences and qualifications. Like any organisation, it is good to have expertise from a variety of different areas as this is what builds great expertise and experience. The best law firms have a wide variety of expertise, and qualifications across the board.

There are a few factors that can make or break your legal case and having the right legal firm will always put you in a better place. Whether you are looking at their experience or you are looking at the wide range of team members that they boast. Make sure that you do the correct amount of research when it comes to the law firm that you are choosing.

We will always give you an individual quote at the start of your transaction, which will take into consideration your personal circumstances and any factors which may affect the transaction.

Most of the services we provide are offered on an hourly rate basis and we consider your individual needs and specific requirements when providing you with legal services. Very rarely do we see a typical case without any complexities or specific requirements. We have therefore provided estimates of our costs based on a simple conveyancing transaction.

Should you have any queries in relation to pricing, please do not hesitate to contact us for further information on 01277 226644 or by email : info@rainerhughes.com

All The Information You Need To Know When Intending To Lodge A Medical Negligence Claim In The UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Medical malpractice lawsuits are often exceedingly complicated, very difficult, and sometimes even unsuccessful, simply because not all mistakes constitute negligence. The UK law recognises that even a rational doctor occasionally makes a mistake in judgment, prescribes or uses the wrong medication or treatment, or performs the wrong procedure, all of which could have major repercussions for the patient. In some situations, the patient might not be able to sue the doctor for medical negligence, however, this is not always the case.

For instance, you may be able to file a medical negligence claim in the UK, meaning you can sue a doctor or health care provider for medical negligence in terms of damages if they performed surgery or provided other treatment with your consent but failed to apply reasonable or correct measures to follow the appropriate procedure. However, you will be required to show evidence or proof to the court that you suffered losses or were harmed as a result of the doctor's failure to exercise the essential care that should have been done in such circumstances, for such a claim to prevail.

In other situations, such as when a doctor has administered medication or performed surgery on a minor child without obtaining consent from the child's parent/s legal guardian, the doctor has acted illegally (unless it is a life-threatening situation that requires emergency treatment). Regardless of how the procedure or treatment turns out, if you as a parent or guardian did not grant consent, you may be entitled to file a medical negligence claim in the UK - unless, as mentioned before, the theory of necessity applies.

If you can demonstrate or prove that your sustained injuries or suffered damages as a result of medical negligence, you may be able to sue a doctor, hospital, or hospital staff member for such damages. Hospitals are responsible for the wrongdoings carried out by doctors and nurses while under their care, and legal action may be taken against them.

You will need to verify if the doctor or nurse acted by their professional competence and hospital service competence during the infraction before taking any action against the facility. Keep in mind that most health professionals have insurance to protect themselves from potential allegations of medical malpractice, and in most cases, any such claims are handled by their legal representatives.

It would be pointless to bring a medical negligence claim in the UK against a doctor, hospital, or any other health care provider, without proof and your legal representation. It is advised to first consult with a lawyer who specialises in medical negligence if you intend to take legal action against a doctor or health care provider.

A medical negligence claim in the UK can be challenging, and these cases can drag out for several years. However, if your life has been negatively impacted by medical negligence, and you and your lawyer are fully prepared, and have all the information, proof, and documents needed to support and strengthen your case, it is unquestionably worthwhile to pursue such a claim.

If you believe you are the victim of medical negligence and that you have a strong claim against a doctor or healthcare provider, you should speak with a lawyer who has the specialised knowledge you need in this complicated area of law. This will allow you to determine whether you have the legal standing to file a claim, and if so, what steps you will need to take next to move forward with your case.

Before deciding on what the next step is going to be, a lawyer with experience in medical negligence will first assess your case on its own merits. It could be required in some circumstances to subpoena impartial third parties to testify in court to acquire their expert evidence. It is vital to prepare yourself mentally for questioning and cross-examination in court because a medical negligence claim in the UK is not always as straightforward as it might appear initially. However, you can effectively pursue the claim if you have the right lawyer on your side.

Important Aspects To Consider When Looking To Hire Corporate Lawyers In The UK

Important Aspects To Consider When Looking To Hire Corporate Lawyers In The UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One will typically consult a lawyer for general legal advice, if you wish to defend yourself in court, or file a civil lawsuit against someone else. However, the legal profession is quite diverse and specialised, with varying degrees of complexity.

Take the role of corporate lawyers in the UK as an example. They advise businesses and companies on their legal rights and obligations, including the obligations and responsibilities of all corporate officials, as part of their role in ensuring the legality of corporate transactions. Corporate lawyers in the UK are required to know every facet of corporate law, including contract law, tax law, corporate merging, intellectual property law, securities law, accounting, bankruptcy, licensing, zoning regulations, and the particular rules for the industry of the company for whom they provide a service, to be successful.

Corporate lawyers in the UK typically provide a broad range of corporate legal services, from the conception of a business to its exit. However, they must be knowledgeable in a wide range of legal areas and can handle a sizable number of cases, including start-up advice, general corporate matters, angel and venture capital financing, mergers, acquisitions, and the sale of businesses. For this reason, it is very important to make an informed decision when looking to hire a law firm for your corporate enterprise.

Some law firms will assign a team of lawyers to a particular company, while others will assign only one corporate lawyer. The team or corporate lawyer assigned to a particular company or business will hence be in charge of defending your company's interests, and must not only be an authority in their area of expertise, but also a specialist in corporate law. They must be well-versed in the fundamental aspects of business, particularly those that pertain to your company, and be able to complete deals quickly and profitably.

To offer corporate clients a one-stop solution, corporate lawyers in the UK should also be able to draw from available resources from the government, to successfully assist them in the areas of intellectual property, labor, and employment, litigation, employee benefits, bankruptcy, real estate, and tax.

The corporate world is continuously evolving; therefore, it is equally important that corporate lawyers in the UK be up to speed with these changes and the most recent developments in the corporate industry. Corporate clients have different needs, which means it is vital that your lawyer is familiar with all aspects of your business and aware of all possible or potential legal issues that may need to be addressed in the future.

To ensure your company or business is in good hands, you need to find a well-established, reputable law firm that specialises in a variety of legal areas but also has a long history of winning cases for their clients. These professionals are qualified to defend your legal interests in the corporate sector since they have received the necessary education and training, and they possess the relevant knowledge and expertise to protect your corporate interests.

Corporate lawyers in the UK unquestionably have big responsibilities, but the fundamentals of corporate law are the same regardless of the needs, or type of legal assistance required by the client. Your lawyer must be fully informed about every aspect of your business to perform his duties to the fullest extent possible, and he must also have access to other departments' record-keeping systems. To ensure that you develop a long-lasting, trustworthy business relationship, this calls for honesty and transparency from both you, the client, and your lawyer.

You will likely have to deal with legal matters at some stage of your business, regardless of whether you are an entrepreneur, an online seller, or an established business. Skilled corporate lawyers in the UK can provide you with any legal and fiscal advice, if and when required.
