[iwcprobateservicesuk]

What Is Probate Registry England and Its Importance?

In England, dealing with the legalities surrounding a loved one's passing can be a daunting task. One aspect of this process is navigating the Probate Registry England, which plays a crucial role in estate administration. Probate Registry, part of the Court system, oversees the distribution of assets in accordance with a deceased person's will or intestacy laws. Probate becomes necessary when the deceased leaves behind assets solely in their name, such as property, money, or investments, exceeding a certain value.

It serves as a legal document that confirms the executor's authority to administer the estate according to the deceased's wishes or the law.

If a person dies without a will (intestate), the Probate Registry still plays a vital role.

The court appoints an administrator to distribute the estate according to intestacy rules. This process ensures fairness and transparency in asset distribution.

The Probate Registry process involves several steps, including gathering information about the deceased's assets and liabilities, completing inheritance tax forms, and submitting the application to the Probate Registry.

Once granted, the executor or administrator gains the legal authority to manage the estate's assets, settle outstanding debts, and distribute inheritances to beneficiaries.

However, not all estates require probate. If assets are jointly owned or held in trust, they typically pass to the surviving owner or beneficiary without the need for probate. Similarly, small estates below a certain threshold may qualify for simplified probate procedures.

Probate Registry in England is required when administering a deceased person's estate, ensuring assets are distributed correctly and legally. Whether the deceased left a will or not, navigating the Probate Registry process is essential for estate administration and resolving legal matters efficiently.

A man committed crimes against girls in the women’s toilets twice yet TRAs say that never happens.

A notorious transgender pedophile in Scotland was forced out of his house on October 19 following a citizen’s protest against his presence in a public housing complex in which many children resided.

Katie Dolatowski, 22, a trans-identified male, appeared in Kirkcaldy Sheriff’s Court on October 18 after breaching a probation condition which required Dolatowski inform police of his address changes. Dolatowski is a registered sex offender, and his conditions stem from two incidents involving young girls.

On February 8th, 2018, Dolatowski was caught filming a 12-year-old girl in a women’s bathroom at an Asda supermarket in Fife, Scotland. Dolatowski was with a care aide using the women’s restroom and as the pair left, he doubled back alone to film the young girl who was within a cubicle in a state of undress by holding his phone over the cubical wall.  After noticing she was being filmed, the girl screamed for help and Dolatowski ran away. He was later identified on the supermarket’s CCTV and 12 seconds of film of the girl were found on his mobile phone and iPad.

Dolatowski offended again soon after on March 4, when he sexually assaulted a girl in the female toilets at another supermarket in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Dolatowski entered the women’s bathroom at the local Morrisons and grabbed a 10-year-old girl by the face, pushing her in to a toilet cubicle and demanding she remove her trousers. Dolatowski also threatened to murder the girl’s mother in an effort to keep her quiet, but the child bravely punched the predator in self-defense, and ran to get her father who was just outside of the washroom.

Despite his two attacks on children, Dolatowski avoided jail for the incidents, and was instead handed a three-year community order. He was also banned from having contact with children, placed on the sex offenders registry, and ordered to complete community service. 

In February of 2019, the Courier revealed that Dolatowski, who was homeless, had been housed in a women’s hostel on the basis of his self-declared gender identity. He did not have a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) – a legal document which declares an individual has changed their name and gender.

According to the Courier report, residents in the women’s shelter were horrified by Dolatowski’s placement there.

“This is a women’s hostel and it’s all women who work here. I feel sick and can’t stop thinking about what [she] has done,” one resident is quoted as having said.

Dolatowski appeared in court this week on charges of breaching an order to register his addresses with the Police due to his sex offender status. 

According to the Courier, Dolatowski had been living in Leeds, England, but sought a move closer to home in Kirkaldy. He had attempted to seek accommodation through Women’s Aid, but they did not have any housing in the area Dolatowski wanted to live in.

He deliberately did not notify the Police of his return to live with his mother in Kirkcaldy between June and September of this year, with the court stating it was due to his concerns police would not find his new arrangement “suitable.” For the breach in condition, Dolatowski was handed a four month curfew.

Reduxx has learned that the unregistered address Dolatowski had moved into was a public housing complex in which many children were present. 

On the night of October 19, enraged neighbors who became aware of Dolatowski’s presence in the complex surrounded the property and demanded he be removed for the safety of the community. Reduxx reviewed phone camera footage taken by a bystander showing a large number of Police, including a Dog Unit, removing Dolatowski and unidentified others from the property.

Members of the public were heard shouting “get the beast out!” And calling attending officers “beast-protectors.” 

Speaking to Reduxx, a resident of the Clarimalt Drive complex, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed that she had been dismayed to learn that Dolatowski had been living in proximity. 

“Why they were housed in an estate where every house has two or more kids, most which are under 10 years old, is beyond me,” the resident said. “We didn’t know until a neighbor told us this morning. Nobody knew he was living there until he was spotted coming out the house with his mother.”

Due to the nature of his crimes, Dolatowski is often referenced in discussions about gender self-identification law and its impact on the safety of women and children.

His crimes were even cited by Harry Potter author JK Rowling, in a tweet where she used him as an example to rebut the claims that such incidents have never occurred.

Dolatowski’s case has also been regularly submitted as evidence to the Scottish Government through the ongoing process of reforming the Gender Recognition Act. However, in responding to a policy analyst group assessing the reforms to the Act, one of the representatives in the Scottish Government appeared to claim that the Dolatowski case had been made up.

So here's an interesting fact. It's not state secret or anything, but not sure how many people know it.

I work in a probate registry in England. If you don't know what that is, we deal with applications for obtaining grants of representation, which once issued, are used by the appointed executors/administrators of an estate of a deceased person to distribute the whole estate either as per the terms of the will being proved or according to the relevant inheritance law (more often than not under the inheritance laws of England and Wales, but could be according to a foreign law if the deceased died domiciled outside England and Wales).

So, once a grant issues, it becomes a public document and anyone can obtain a copy for a small fee, along with a copy of the will being proved if applicable. In some rare instances, the documents may be sealed and are, therefore, not public documents so no one can see them or obtain copies, unless they are unsealed by a Lord Judge's order.

So, my office dealt with the probate of Prince Phillip and will process the probate for the Queen. So, did you know that once his case was examined and issued, the will was sealed? The same thing will happen to the one for the Queen - we'll receive the application (royal courier, personally handed in, whatever) and it will be created and processed the very same day, and the Queen's will would only be seen by once person, which will probably be the Manager of the whole probate, not just our office.

I find it interesting, because as far as I know, Princess Diana's will is a public record. I would quite like to know what the Queen's estate consists of her and how it is distributed, especially since she had forbidden the police from investigating her finances and properties

Parma (Aswan x Pokaznaja) and her sons Partner (Eleuzis x Parma) and Pamir (Probat x Parma).

“The history of Polish Arabian breeding is littered with losses and eventual returns. The last disaster to hit Janow Podlaski, a stud farm that had already weathered several crises in the course of its long existence, was World War II.  On September 1, 1939, Hitler’s troops launched their attack on Poland. Janow Podlaski at the time was home to some 400 horses, including a priceless herd of 32 purebred Arabian mares. The entire farm fled, embarking on an odyssey between the German and Russian lines that lasted from September 11 to 24, when the horses returned to Janow. It was very much a case of from the frying pan to the fire, however, as in early October, the Russian army appeared on the scene and removed 12 stallions and 32 mares from Janow. Poland’s loss was of course Russia’s gain, since many of these horses became significant foundation horses in the modern Tersk program. 

One family that was entirely lost at the time was that of the glorious Koalicja, a mare of Babolna and Weil breeding acquired by Janow from Radowce long before the war. Koalicja, herself descended from the old Polish family of Milordka, is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful mares of all time, and her head to this day adorns the logo of the German Arabian registry. Besides two chief sires, Enwer Bey and Miecznik, Koalicja produced three daughters: Federacja 1924 (by Burgas DB), Konfederacja 1929 (by Farys II) and Niezgoda 1932 (by Fetysz). All three were lost in that turbulent fall of 1939. Konfederacja and Niezgoda were taken to Tersk; Federacja, who the previous year had given birth to Witez II, presumably died. Federacja’s daughter, Narada 1932 (by Hardy), was taken taken to Tersk along with Koalicja’s two younger daughters and Narada’s own yearling daughter Walna, by Lowelas, all to become foundation horses at Tersk.

During the second half of the 20th century, the Poles made several attempts at bringing back mare families and sire lines that had been lost of heavily decimated in Poland. Since all of Koalicja’s female descendants had ended up at Tersk, this was the obvious place to go, and in 1968 the two-year old filly Parma was chosen to bring back this lost branch of Milordka’s family. She was a great-granddaughter of Walna in tail female line, and carried valuable outcross blood through the two top Russian performance sires Knipple and Priboj, as well as through her sire, the Egyptian Aswan. She was the first Aswan offspring used in Poland; the stallion Magnat, imported at the same time, left very few get in Poland, and Palas only arrived six years later. 

Parma was an excellent broodmare, giving birth to 21 foals at Janow Podlaski, the last one at age 26. Only seven of those 21 were fillies; and though she was brought back to revive an extinct dam line, Parma is even better known for her excellent sons. Her very first foal, the stallion Partner (1970 by Eleuzis), was a great success, especially as a sire of broodmares. His daughters include Ballada, the only daughter of Bandola to breed on in Poland, and international champion Saradela; his best son was the European Champion Penitent, who in turn sired a number of superior mares such as Kawalkada and Palestra, and the current chief sire Eldon. Other notable Partner sons are Cenzor, a successful sire in Germany; World Champion Rumak, sired during Partner’s lease to Sweden and now in England, and Polish National Champion and Reserve Nations Cup Champion Pesal, who has sired winning get in both Poland and the Netherlands, where he head Klarenbeek Arabians. 

Parma’s sons were a remarkably international lot. Her 1974 son Parys (by Tryptyk) was sold to Sweden. Pasat, foaled in 1978 (by Gwarny), went to Germany, and, along with his son Penthagonn, was chosen to reintroduce the Bairactar sire line at Marbach State Stud, where he has left a son and a daughter; he was also leased to Babolna State Stud in Hungary and later returned to Poland. The 1980 bay Polonez (by Etap) was leased to the U.S for three years, and later sold to Brazil. And last but by no means least, parma’s 1984 son Pamir by Probat was winner at halter as well as a race winner, including the derby in 1987; and a superior sire whose get include international champion mare Emilda and no less than three Derby winners: Batyskaf, Gepard, and Gafal.

Parma’s seven daughters were all used for breeding in Poland, but often only until they had foaled a daughter; most of them were also exported. Parma’s oldest daughter Partita (1976 by Bandos) was sold to France, leaving a daughter, Parana by Probot; Parodia (1977 by Gwarny) was exported to the U.S., Parabola (1981 by Ellorus) to Sweden and subsequently to Britan; Palma, the 1983 full sister to Partita, to Sweden; Partytura (1986 by Eternit) to Austria, and Panama (1989 by Pepton) to Germany. However, Janow always retained enough females to keep the family going. The herd today contains around half a dozen mares of this family, including four daughters of Parana (Probot x Partita), one daughter of Partytura, and one mare out of Parma’s last daughter, Parafraza (1992 by Arbil). The original mission, to bring back the Koalicja branch of the Milordka family, was thus accomplished...”

Why Probate Registry England Is Crucial?

Probate is a legal process that validates and executes a deceased person's will. In England, the Probate Registry plays a crucial role in overseeing this process, ensuring the proper distribution of assets according to the deceased person's wishes.

Verification of the Will

One primary function of the Probate Registry is to verify the authenticity of the deceased person's will. This involves confirming that the document meets legal requirements and was executed in accordance with the law. This step is essential to prevent fraudulent claims and ensure the deceased's true intentions are honoured.

Appointment of Executors

The Probate Registry is responsible for appointing executors named in the will. Executors are individuals tasked with managing the deceased person's estate, including handling financial matters and distributing assets. The registry ensures that these individuals are legally qualified and capable of fulfilling their responsibilities.

Asset Valuation and Distribution

Probate involves assessing the value of the deceased person's estate, which includes properties, finances, and possessions. The Probate Registry oversees this valuation process to determine any applicable inheritance tax. Subsequently, it ensures the proper distribution of assets to beneficiaries as outlined in the will.

Legal Authority

Upon successful probate, the Probate Registry issues a Grant of Probate, providing legal authority to the executors to manage the deceased person's estate. This document is often required for banks, government bodies, and other institutions to recognize the executor's authority to act on behalf of the deceased.

The Probate Registry in England serves as a vital institution in the legal process following an individual's death. Its role in verifying wills, appointing executors, valuing assets, and granting legal authority ensures a smooth and lawful distribution of assets, providing clarity and closure for the deceased person's estate.

Legal Documents you Need to Sell a House (Deeds, EPC, Certificates…)

Legal Documents you Need to Sell a House (Deeds, EPC, Certificates…)

You’re required by law to provide various certificates and paperwork to sell your home.

In this article we’ll cover exactly what documents are needed to sell a house as well as going over some other special circumstances which may require additional documents (explained later in the article)

Let’s get started.

Acceptable Proof of Identity & Address Documents

Property Title Deeds (and what to do if you don’t have them)

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Property & Information Form (TA6)

Fittings & Content Form (TA10)

Leasehold Properties: Additional Information

Everything Else (Including Special Circumstances & Additional Paperwork)

A Final Word

1) Acceptable Proof of Identity & Address Documents

Proof of your identity is required by various sources when it comes to selling your house, such as solicitors, mortgage lenders and estate agents. Two separate documents are necessary in order to prove both your ID and address, such as a passport or driving licence for the former and a bank statement or utility bill dated within the last three months for the latter. Various forms of proof are acceptable, with a full list of the various documentation available to view at the official UK Government website.

2) Property Title Deeds (and what to do if you don’t have them)

Naturally, you need to show that the property is yours to offer for sale. For this you need the Title Property Deeds, documents that not only prove ownership but also contain various other pieces of vital information regarding the house, such as any necessary licences, Deeds of Covenant, planning and building regulations, etc. You may well be in possession of these. If not, the solicitor you used to purchase the property might have kept hold of them, or your mortgage company.

There are slightly different requirements for EPCs in Scotland, as opposed to those in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Full details and how to find a local assessor local are listed at www.gov.uk. Once you get in contact with a firm they’ll usually arrange an appointment in 48-72 hours. The assessment itself takes 30-45 minutes, and the certificate is provided on payment (anything between £50-£100 + VAT, so it can pay to shop around).

If you don’t have them, or perhaps have lost the deeds, there are various steps necessary to obtain them.

Search the HM Land Registry Records: Once a property has been registered then digital records are kept. The original title deeds are scanned and stored when land or property is first registered, with the physical documentation then being returned to the solicitor that acted on behalf of the buyer. You can search the property information database to find out details of the initial registration. If the property has been registered then you can fill in a deeds request form to get a copy.

Most properties in the UK are registered. However, compulsory registration was only put in place in December 1990. In addition, gifted or inherited property wasn’t required to be registered, so there are instances where a house might not have yet been entered on to the land register.

If the Property isn’t Registered: Such cases are dwindling, but there are still a sizeable minority of properties in the country that this applies to. This makes it necessary for the title to be reconstructed or reconstituted – something that requires a specialist legal approach, due to various complexities and research needed. According to Co Op Legal Services, steps to be taken include the gathering of information to provide a Statement of Truth that supports why you need to re-apply for the Title Deeds. Such a process can be lengthy and, if it applies to your situation, should be undertaken at the earliest possible opportunity.

It should be noted that as the number of properties not yet entered onto the register is reducing, so too is the availability of experienced legal services to rectify the matter. Care should be taken in the choice of service to carry out this complex task, and customers should satisfy themselves that their chosen representative is fully conversant with all the relevant processes.

Below we’ve also put together a reconstitution of title checklist.

3) Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Commonly referred to as an EPC, this aptly named document provides information as to how energy efficient the property is and any alterations that could improve this. Every property sale needs to have one and a certificate lasts for 10 years. Because of this time scale many vendors find the certificate provided when they bought their house is still valid. A lost EPC certificate can easily be recovered as they’re stored digitally on a central government database. If the current EPC is out of date, or if any of the recommended upgrades have been carried out, it’ll be necessary to obtain a new one. This has to be carried out by an accredited person, all of whom are listed on the ECP Register website.

4) Property & Information Form (TA6)

Also known as a TA6, this is a legally binding document that provides detailed information about the property. It contains a large amount of data, such as accurate locations of boundaries and responsibilities, any ongoing disputes with neighbours, building regulations for work done, environmental matters, council tax band, additional charges (such as rental charges for a garage), planning applications that affect the property, etc.

5) Fittings & Content Form (TA10)

Officially known as form TA10, this self-explanatory form details exactly what’s included in the sale of the property. It covers the fixtures and fittings to be left in the property, and can also be used to cover items that might be left outside, such as sheds or garden furniture.

6) Leasehold Properties: Additional Information

Leasehold properties require additional paperwork, known as a Leasehold Property Enquiry Form, a document that makes up part of what’s referred to as a Management Information Pack. This cover aspects such as current ground rent, service charges, a summary of management company accounts over the past three years, notice fees, deed of covenant fees and any others that are applicable.

For leases with less than 80 years to run there might be a need to extend the lease before a sale can be made. The solicitor or conveyancer undertaking the legal aspects of the sale will advise if this will be the case. Obtaining all the information necessary to sell a leasehold property can take time to gather, so it’s vital to commence the process as soon as a decision has been made to sell. Aside from this extra information, the paperwork to sell leasehold is identical to that of selling freehold.

7) Everything Else (Including Special Circumstances & Additional Paperwork)

The above encompasses the documentation and certificates required for the sale of the majority of properties. There are some other possible considerations to take into account, such as if your home has shared freehold. Cases such as this necessitate further paperwork and, once again, can be lengthy processes. Because of this, instigating the collection of such data should be sought at an early stage to prevent delays later down the line.

Other special circumstances that lead to further legalities and documentation might include:

Probate sales

The sale of a specialist retirement property

Selling under Power of Attorney

Selling a rented property

In addition, the following paperwork might also need to be provided if the circumstances are relevant:

Gas and electrical checks

Subsidence/damp guarantees and/or warranties

Party wall agreements

Specialist asbestos surveys

Listed building consent

Conservation area consent

Japanese knotweed management plans

Planning permission

Window certification

Green Deal loans

The key to the smooth collation of the necessary legal documentation for property sales is a combination of the right representation and understanding your responsibilities. The key take away should be to obtain documentation at the earliest opportunity (or instruct your legal representative to do it for you). Such forward thinking is pivotal to ensure the least amount of hold-ups in which can often be a frustrating process, with house sales inevitably throw up all sorts of unexpected issues. Suffice to say, strategic collection of the necessary legal documentation will go a long way to reducing such stress.

A Final Word

None of us have a crystal ball, and even if you think you’re in your forever home and never need worry about selling, circumstances can and do change. While any problem regarding a lack of relevant property paperwork is, of course, not insurmountable, issues such as lost deeds can cause a great deal of added pressure. We can’t stress enough how the importance of storing all documents in a safe place, or knowing that your legal representative does so on your behalf,

Ensuring all that vital bumph is safe and easily accessible doesn’t necessarily make for plain sailing, but it’ll certainly make to process a whole lot easier. And when it comes to a stressful task such as selling your property, anything that helps smooth the journey is something to be grabbed with both hands

Brian Humphrey robbed a bank in Portugal Oregon wearing a striped sweater and glasses and let him look like Where's Waldo and then he made a blunder of comic book proportions basically Hundley updated his Facebook page with a confession writing the words I'm now a bank robber. The surprise was that the Waldo look- like a robber and he was soon arrested by police.

 Elsa Hafner who had been in court in the Swedish city of Malmo on suspicion of shoplifting. The magistrates gave her only probation however she was promptly arrested when leaving the courthouse and charged with having just stolen the fur coat of one of the magistrates in her case.  

Neil McArdle of Liverpool England. He realized too late that he had forgotten to book the wedding venue at the local registry so instead of confessing he decided to invent a story rather he phoned in a bogus bomb threat to the wedding location. There was no bomb at all the police were able to trace the call back to McArdle's phone and he was arrested.

Brian Paul Smith in Kansas. Smith took a spider hostage he had been looking after the spider for a friend and when the friend asked for his pet spider back Smith refused claiming he wanted $100 or he would shoot the arachnid needless. Smith was arrested and sentenced to 40 months in prison

I think that every time people do not reflect on their actions. Every day people look for the quick way to get what they want without thinking that these kinds of actions can take them to jail or be stopped by the police and they will have to pay their consequences. Also people do not think that such actions can affect people around them. I think that this type of videos should not be published because they give ideas to people to do similar things or improve these ideas.

Navigating the Probate Registry in England: Understanding the Cost of Grant of Probate

Introduction:

It ensures that the deceased person's estate is administered in accordance with their wishes and the law. The Probate Registry plays a pivotal role in this process by granting the legal authority required to deal with the estate.

What is the Cost of Grant of Probate?

The Cost of Grant of Probate refers to the fees associated with obtaining the legal authority required to administer a deceased person's estate. This cost primarily covers the administrative fees charged by the Probate Registry in England. The exact amount you'll need to pay depends on the estate's value and whether you choose to handle the application process yourself or seek professional assistance.

What Factors Affect the Cost of Grant of Probate?

Several factors can influence the Cost of Grant of Probate, including:

Estate Value: The total value of the deceased person's estate has a direct impact on the cost. Fees are typically higher for larger estates.

Method of Application: Whether you choose to apply for the grant of probate yourself or hire a professional, such as a solicitor, can affect the overall cost.

Inheritance Tax: The amount of inheritance tax due, if any, may also contribute to the cost. In some cases, inheritance tax must be paid before the grant of probate is issued.

Complexity of the Estate: If the deceased's estate is complex or contains unusual assets, it may require additional administrative work, potentially increasing the cost.

Miscellaneous Expenses: Other costs, such as postage, obtaining additional copies of the grant, or potential legal advice, can also add to the overall cost.

How Can You Manage the Cost of Grant of Probate?

To manage the Cost of Grant of Probate effectively, consider the following:

Accurate Valuation: Ensure that the estate's value is accurately assessed, as this directly impacts the fees payable to the Probate Registry.

DIY vs. Professional Help: Decide whether to apply for the grant of probate yourself or hire a professional. Weigh the benefits of professional guidance against the associated costs.

Plan for Inheritance Tax: Be aware of any potential inheritance tax liabilities and plan for them accordingly.

Seek Legal Advice: If the estate is complex or you're unsure about the process, consider seeking legal advice to avoid costly mistakes.

Conclusion:

Navigating the Probate Registry in England and understanding the Cost of Grant of Probate is vital when dealing with the estate of a deceased loved one. By familiarizing yourself with these aspects, you can make informed decisions, minimize costs, and ensure a smooth probate process, honoring the wishes of the deceased while complying with legal requirements.

How To Find A Will And Why You Might Need To

Having your own will is imperative ensuring that your assets, property and finances are protected for the future, when you pass away. It’s an uncomfortable topic that sometimes isn’t openly discussed as much as it should be. We have spoken before in previous blogs about the vital significance of having a will, and what happens if you die without a will. 

But it does actually happen. According to recent statistics, 60% of UK adults don’t have their own will. In these cases, the state decides how assets are distributed, leading to more than £8 million being given to the government last year. Here’s what you need to do to find a will in the case that a friend or relative dies and you don’t know where their legal document is…

Finding A Will At Home…

The very first place you should look to find a will is in the deceased’s home. Often people will have a copy of their own will or have the relevant contact details for the solicitor they used at the time. This can be a difficult process, so make sure that you take your time, find a trusted friend or family member to do it with you and only when you’re ready. 

You may also want to look for a letter of wishes and/or codicil, as these are important documents. A letter of wishes explains certain things in their will and may include what they would like at their funeral, but this isn’t legally binding. A codicil is, however, a legally binding document that is made to make changes to the original will. 

Searching For A Will At A Law Firm…

If you haven’t found the will at home, but you have found the details of a solicitors office, that is the next place you should look. It is often advised that you keep a copy of you will at home, with your solicitor, at a bank and in England and Wales at the Principal Registry of the Family Division of the High Court, a District Registry or Probate Sub-Registry. In some cases, there may, therefore, be a copy at a law firm, so it’s always worth checking. 

Check For The Will At The National Will Register…

Another way to find a will is by checking at the National Will Register. A number of solicitors use this and leave a record of any wills created at their law firm. As an alternative, you can also use the Government’s website to search for probate records. Something to note is that these options are a paid service so you will have to pay to try and find your will. 

Why May You Need To Find A Will?

As briefly mentioned it is so important to have your will, and so many people in the UK don’t have one. Not having your own will can cause a lot of problems and worry for your family after you pass away. You may need to find a will, in the case that your family believe you don’t have your own will or the one you have cannot be found. 

If you need any support in creating your own will or finding one get in touch with our team today. We can help you to understand wills and testaments and important things such as a last will search, how to find someone’s will online and how to find the lawyer that wrote a will.

How to Buy an Empty Property

Many individuals, companies and charities have ambitions to bring empty properties back into usable, affordable accommodation by renovating, then selling or letting them – all without the hassle of having to wait for someone else to move out before starting refurbishments! So, with around 635,000 empty properties being available across England (government reports) and around a third of these standing empty for over 6 months, how can you find an empty property to buy? Secure an opportunity If you’re on the market for an empty property, there are places it pays to look: Estate agents Register your interest with estate agents in the locality where you’re looking to purchase and investigate online services such as RightMove and Zoopla, so you can compare pricing across areas and property types, and view online property sales. Auction house There’s a reason Homes Under The Hammer is so popular! It not only captures our lively national interest in the drama of auction action, but also shows the success individuals have: in bringing empty homes right back into use as accommodation and often with considerable returns on the buyers’ investments. It’s definitely worth visiting property auctions and registering for alerts and listing information. If you’re unsuccessful in bidding at auction (for instance if the property’s withdrawn after failing to meet reserve valuations) some auction houses will put you in touch with the owner, so always consider following up with enquiries even if your bidding hasn’t resulted in success. By spotting a vacant property and contacting the owner Empty properties are often easy to spot and if you think you’ve found one, there are way to investigate who owns it: The property may be ex-local authority housing stock, so check with the local council to see if it’s one they have available for purchase. In any case, speak to the council’s Empty Property Officer (EPO) as a useful starting point, especially if you’ve been unlucky in finding a suitable property. Remember to approach conversations from the solution-offering perspective of bringing an empty property back into use. Gaining contact information for owners can be difficult due to necessary data-protection issues. However, many local authorities have targets for bringing empty properties back into use so ask the relevant council to work with you to contact the owner, for example by passing on a letter of enquiry on your behalf. Conducting a Land Registry search can help to identify a property’s legal owner. However, bear in mind that this is a fee-based service and the information generated may not be up to date. The uninhabited, undeveloped look is typical of properties caught up in planning wrangles, so do also contact the local authority planning office, to check for any planning applications registered for the address. This line of enquiry could result in information about the owner or alternatively help you to eliminate the property from your wish-list: if you find out that renovations are about to begin, or that planning has been denied and an appeal lodged, any of which would then explain why the property’s looking deserted. Remember too, you can always put a note through the door of the property or ask neighbours if they have the owner’s contact details to forward an enquiry letter for you. By buying a plot – with an empty property on it Sometimes, plots for development are advertised, which already have a property in place. Although these are frequently uninhabitable,  with the right expertise and professional network, it can be worth pursuing a plot plus property – at the right price! If you’ve spotted a possible property, check the Council Tax band tool on the gov.uk website. After putting in the relevant postcode, the tool reveals the council tax bands for properties within the postcode. Any listings which return as ‘deleted’ are likely to be derelict domestic properties which are neglected and no longer liable for council tax, the only reason a band is deleted, as indicated at the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) gov.uk website: “If a property is actually occupied, it’s generally assumed to be habitable and the VOA won’t delete the band, even if repair and renovation works are ongoing.” This method is not entirely assured – for instance a ‘deleted’ property may be caught in a probate wrangle and already have several prospective owners-in-waiting – but it does offer a useful starting point for finding potentially available empty properties in your chosen area. Secure additional funds The best way to buy an empty property is with cash, as many empty properties (particularly auction properties) are not mortgageable. Having cash available to purchase quickly also increases your bargaining power and chances of securing the opportunity. Buying an empty property to refurbish can be profitable if you have access to a good professional network for fixing the property up, and another for re-selling or letting it out with minimal headaches. It may also help to know that accessing financial help to make an empty house habitable could be possible … Empty property grants or loans To help incentivise new owners to refurbish previously unoccupied, neglected and uninhabitable homes, empty property grants were introduced in 2011. In this scheme government funding is made to local authorities who in turn allocate funds, usually in the form of interest-free loans or grants, to owners / purchasers of vacant properties. Such funding can be used to help refurbish the property, although to access funds owners must agree to the conditions laid out by the awarding local authority. Every council sets its own criteria and policies relating to these funds – from whether they’re awarded as interest-free loans or conditional grants, to stipulations about what happens once the work’s finished, such as the property must be let to a tenant introduced by the council. Secure your investment Finally, once you’ve successfully bought an empty property, secure it whilst you’re making decisions and applications … Remove waste – including any fly-tipped rubbish, an unfortunate occurrence when properties are vacant (particularly those ‘deleted’ properties on council tax lists). Secure entry points – if the property’s been vacant for a while, tidying up the plot and securing the property and its boundaries improves ongoing security and safety. It can also set you off on good terms with the neighbours, as no one wants to live next door to a neglected eyesore and, by securing your new property against trespass and illegal occupation, you’ll also be reducing risk of anti-social behaviour and potential for crime within the neighbourhood. For additional information, SafeSite Security Solutions offer a comprehensive guide for securing and protecting vacant property.
