Welcome to your September issue...
It’s “back to school time” for many, and “nights pullingin time” for all. I hope your summer proved enjoyable, relaxing and, just like this magazine, full of excitement and interest! Time now to take a deep breath, look ahead and wonder why Christmas presents should already be on show in the shops! Before you go any further, however, and start making lists of who will get what eighteen weeks from now, just relax with your favourite magazine … and enjoy the month ahead.

As the Paris Olympics make way for the Paris Paralympics (August 28th to September 8th) it’s a good moment to pass on congratulations to several of our local South Lincs medal winners. They are Grantham’s Amy Hunt (aged 22: silver in the Women’s 4 x 100m relay) and Lewis Davey (24: bronze in the Men’s 4 x 400m relay), with Stamford’s “high hopes”, Ed Lowe (20: silver in the Men’s cycling team sprint) making it a terrific trio!
Not content to leave all the glory to the youngsters, I was gratified to see that England’s men’s cricketers recently beat Australia in the Over-70s World Cup Final. Yet another “local lad” was amongst the medalsformer Market Deeping C.C. all-rounder Nick Andrews. And finally:
• The CEO of IKEA was elected as the new Prime Minister of Sweden but is now struggling to put his cabinet together.
• “That’s too dear”, Bryan complained when he was charged £200 for eight legs of venison.
Enjoy the read!

Tesco Scheme Wants Your Votes
Linchfield Academy are thrilled to report that they have been accepted into the Tesco Community Grants Scheme for July, August, and September!
The school opened in 1980, and the playground areas have been much loved over the years by so many pupils. Unfortunately, the ‘wear and tear’ is now taking its toll with old playground markings being no longer visible. An injection of fun is therefore required to re-engage the children once more. Play is as important to a child’s development as their classroom lessons. With children playing outdoors less and less outside of school, it is more important than ever that we provide an exciting space for them to play.
To help Linchfield Academy raise funds for their playground markings project, you can vote for them in all these Tesco stores: Market Deeping; Dogsthorpe; Stamford; Werrington; Chadburn. Thank you for your support! Please tell your friends.
Baston C of E Primary School
“Our Year 6 pupils were fortunate enough to experience an unforgettable residential trip to Hilltop Outdoor Centre in Sheringham in July and what an adventure it was! The delicious food provided throughout the trip received high praise from everyone, and the stunning views of the nearby beach added a beautiful backdrop to their activities.
The students embraced the opportunity to challenge themselves with a range of thrilling experiences, including ziplining, crate stacking, climbing, and an exciting obstacle course, with the tree top trail being an exhilarating highlight. They also enjoyed exploring the coastal surroundings, which added a sense of adventure and discovery to their days. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the adults who volunteered their time to ensure the children had a safe, enjoyable and enriching experience.”

Drinks:Delights from Dumangin G
illes Dumangin (Champagne Dumangin, est. 1884) has multi awards and is also renowned as a Ratafia producer and well-known for playing a major part in the process leading to the granting of Protective Geographic Indication, to Ratafia Champenois, during 2016.
1884 Dumangin J. Fils Ratafia Champenois (18% vol) has Champagne must and Champagnebased spirits expertly blended. The resulting mix is then aged for a minimum of six years in oak casks, that have been previously used for the maturing of top-quality wines. This results in a very fine, aromatic, tawny-coloured, full-bodied production, which is equally enjoyable for pre-dining, to accompany desserts, cheeses and great for postdining, by itself, with a subtle, most acceptable sweetness for the mouth’s pleasures and an extended, elegant finish on the palate.
1884 J. Fils is renowned for top-quality Champagnes and Ratafia Champenois productions. Also, Gilles Dumangin is immensely knowledgeable about whiskies, collecting and consuming numerous whiskies, from global origins. During 2020, Gilles released a range of limited edition, small-batch whiskies, having completed the production processes in Ratafia Champenois casks.
Dutch Rye Whisky (47.4% vol) and Bourbon Whiskey (55.2% vol) are certainly amongst several favourites from this company. Blue Corn Texas Whisky (46.7% vol) is a further favourite, with
many whisky devotees. Single Malt productions include availability of Indian Whisky (46.4% vol), Texas Whisky (46.7% vol) and Scotch (47.2% vol). These are just some of the whiskies available from Gilles Dumangin and, with such a high-quality of all beverages, I understand that many connoisseurs have not just one, but several much-enjoyed delectations.
ByTrevorLangley
Absolutely, the offerings from 1884 J. Fils are very well worthwhile checking out (in my opinion), whether a preference is for Champagnes, Ratafia Champenois Delicatesse (17.5% vol), Ratafia Champenois Finesse (17% vol), Ratafia Champenois Force (17% vol), Ratafia Champenois Fruit (17% vol) or a most delectable whisk(e)y production. The history of Dumangin, the processes and the productions make interesting reading on their very informative website. Highly recommended.
Ordering is easy and available online at www.champagne-dumangin.fr

As always, enjoy!

Dermal Fillers…
Let’s Fill You In!
Dermal fillers are substances designed to be injected into the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness. There is a range of dermal fillers that can be used to treat different areas on the face, (such as lines on the forehead, the lips, the nasolabial folds, the marionettes and the cheek pads) to restore lost structure and fullness.
They are used to treat different areas for varying signs of ageing, such as thinning lips, to enhance or fill in shallow areas of the face and to fill in and soften static wrinkles especially on the lower part of the face.
Dermal fillers are an extremely safe treatment, as long as you make sure that the procedure is being carried out by a fully qualified healthcare professional. The treatment is relatively quick and has no ‘down time’ at all. The time they take to work is almost immediate and can last from anywhere between six to eighteen months, which gives real value for money.
We would love to invite you to come and have a chat with us to discuss your individual needs and expectations and let’s see what we can do for you.
TREATMENTS WE OFFER
Dermal fillers ✦ Lip fillers ✦ Bunny lines
Downturned corners of the mouth ✦ Gummy smiles

Discussing Wills, Funerals and Death with your
Parents: A Crucial Conversation
Broaching the subject of death with your parents is often considered taboo, yet it’s an important conversation. Most of us might shy away from discussing wills, funerals, and end-of-life matters with our elderly relatives, but this reluctance can lead to significant emotional and financial turmoil when the inevitable occurs.
Firstly, addressing these matters whilst your parents are still of sound mind and body allows for clarity and peace of mind for all involved. A properly drafted will ensures that your parents’ wishes are honoured, and their assets distributed according to their desires. Without a valid will, the distribution of assets falls to the rules of intestacy, which may not align with your parents’ intentions, potentially causing disputes and legal complications.
Moreover, discussing funeral arrangements in advance can relieve the burden on grieving family members. Knowing whether your parents prefer burial or cremation, their choice of music, or any specific cultural or religious observances can provide comfort during a difficult time. It also offers an opportunity for your parents to express their desires, ensuring their final farewell reflects their personality and values.
NICK ASH, Managing Director W&P Legal
Financial planning is another crucial aspect of these discussions. Understanding your parents’ financial situation, including any debts, investments, or insurance policies, can help prevent unexpected financial strain on the family. It’s also an opportune moment to discuss Lasting Powers of Attorney, ensuring that someone trustworthy can make decisions on their behalf, should they become incapacitated.
While initiating these conversations may feel uncomfortable, approaching the subject with sensitivity and respect can strengthen familial bonds. It demonstrates care for your parents’ wellbeing and a willingness to shoulder responsibilities. These discussions can also open doors to sharing family histories, imparting wisdom, and creating meaningful memories.
Procrastination is the greatest enemy in these matters. Waiting until a health crisis occurs, or cognitive decline sets in, can lead to hasty decisions or the inability to make choices altogether. By having these conversations early, families can avoid the added stress of making critical decisions under duress.
It’s important to remember that these discussions are not ‘one-off events’ but ongoing dialogues. As circumstances change, so might your parents’ wishes. Regular checkins ensure that plans remain current and relevant.

TRAVEL VACCINATIONS AND HEALTH ADVICE SERVICE
1 WHY MAY I NEED TO BE VACCINATED?
If you’re about to travel outside of the UK, you may need to be vaccinated before you set off for your trip. The childhood vaccination programme in the UK protects you from a number of diseases, but you may need extra vaccinations or antimalarials if you’re planning on visiting certain parts of the world.
2 HOW CAN WE HELP?
Getting vaccinated can help prevent you from getting ill if you’re exposed to diseases which we don’t normally have in the UK. We can help you understand how to keep your risks low while abroad and help you work out which vaccinations and antimalarials you may want to consider depending on things like:
• Which regions you’ll be visiting
• What activities you’ll be doing
• Your age and general health
Some travel vaccinations may be needed several weeks before departure. Ideally you should see us six to eight weeks before travelling, but we may still be able to help if you’re leaving sooner, even days before you travel.
3 WHAT VACCINATIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
● Cholera ● Hepatitis A ● Hepatitis B ● Japanese encephalitis ● Meningitis ACWY ● Rabies ● Tick-borne encephalitis
● Typhoid ● Yellow fever ● And many more
TRAVEL VACCINATIONS ALSO AVAILABLE Chicken Pox, Meningitis and MMR
Lessons Learned to Improve Financial Planning
Iwanted to start this month’s article by congratulating Claire and the rest of the Discovering Magazines team on an incredible achievement – twenty years in business! This mammoth achievement can teach us all some vital lessons on how to have a winning mindset when it comes to your financial planning.
Time in the market, not timing the market
One of the fundamental principles of successful financial planning is understanding the value of time. Much like Claire's journey with Discovering Magazines, financial success is built over decades, not months.
Consistency and discipline in your financial habits will lead to long-term benefits.
The magic of compound growth –earning interest on your interest – is your best friend in this journey. By investing steadily over time, your wealth has the opportunity to grow. Trying to time the market for quick gains often leads to missed opportunities and unnecessary risks. Patience and persistence are the keys to successful financial planning.
Control the Controllables
In the world of business and finance, there are many factors beyond our control: politics, wars, pandemics. These external events can cause market volatility and uncertainty in the short term. However, what truly matters is how we respond to these challenges. Focus on what you can control: how much you earn, how much you save, and how you react to global events.
Sticking to your plan, even in turbulent times, is essential. Consistency and discipline in your financial habits will lead to long-term benefits.
Build a great team
No one can do it all alone, and Claire's success story is a testament to the power of collaboration. Recognise when you need support and don’t hesitate to seek help. If you're short on time or lack expertise in certain areas, partnering with the right professionals can make all the difference.
Proactive planning with knowledgeable advisors can help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure you’re on the right path to achieving your financial goals. Building a great team around you provides the support and guidance needed to navigate the complexities of financial planning.
Proactive planning with knowledgeable advisors can help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure you’re on the right path to achieving your financial goals
What next?
The journey of Discovering Magazines over the past twenty years illustrates the importance of time, control, and teamwork in achieving long-term success. As you reflect on these lessons, consider how they apply to your own financial planning.

Starting Primary School for the First Time
For those of us grandparents seeing their first grandchild make their first tentative steps onto the educational ladder (which will hopefully lead them to a happy, successful future), this month is really special. Try to share as many moments with them as you possibly can, I certainly will!
WHAT DOES YOUR CHILD NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING PRIMARY SCHOOL
The following skills might just give your child a bit more confidence in the early weeks:
● Be able to go to the toilet alone and wash hands well.
● Be able to change in and out of a PE kit.
● Be able to put on their own shoes.
● Recognise their name (both hearing it and seeing it written down).
● Be able to write their own name so they can label their work.
● Be familiar with the letters of the alphabet.
● Be familiar with the numbers up to 20.
Remember that some children will be upset to discover that others in their class can already read, and they can’t. Just reassure them that they will also be able to read soon, and ensure they continue to enjoy books, with lots of story time at home.
FIRST DAY OF STARTING PRIMARY SCHOOL ADVICE
When the time comes to make the big break, be prepared for a few tears, possibly on both sides. But with a bit of forward planning, you should both
be in the swing of it very soon. Try to make the morning as relaxed as possible. If you can take a day off work so it’s less of a rush, even better. Most schools start Reception children off on half days, so you may find they finish before lunch.
Take your (hopefully well-rehearsed) route to school, arriving with plenty of time to spare. Avoid a lengthy farewell as children settle in much better if parents send them in confidently, smiling, wishing them well.
Schools will likely have staggered finishing times for different year groups to reduce the number of parents arriving at the same time, so make sure you’re there at the correct time to pick up your child. Children are usually starving by home time, so you may also want to bring a healthy snack to pick up.
After their day, try not to bombard your child with questions and don’t be surprised if they can’t remember much at all. It’s a lot to take in. They’re likely to be tired, so don’t arrange anything too taxing for that afternoon, but a treat to celebrate a successful first day is a good idea. When your child gets home, let them have a rest and adjust to their new routine. You may want to let them watch television for a while to unwind. You can ask them what happened during their day but be prepared to hear “nothing.” Try not to interrogate them.
That’s it … nothing to it really – roll on those Christmas Nativity shows!

Are You Being Charged for Updating Your Mortgage with the Same Lender?
Updating your mortgage with the same lender without additional borrowing or altering the length of the mortgage is called a “product transfer”. Here at Path Mortgages, we do not charge for the service of updating your mortgage in this way. The process of completing a product transfer is a simple task and requires a lot less administration than a full remortgage to another lender.
How do you update your mortgage to a new rate?
You start by speaking with one of our advisors. We will look to fully understand your circumstances so we can best advise on whether it makes sense to stay with your existing lender or to move to a new lender. Should staying with your existing lender be the right choice, we will complete the paperwork for you at no cost.
Why don’t I just update the product myself?
Not only can we compare the products with the wider market, we monitor the change over to the new rate, and keep an eye on changes to rates whilst we wait for the update to take place. Should a lower-cost product become available we update this, free of charge. Once the
update has been completed, we will make a record, and notify you when your mortgage is up for renewal next time, meaning you’re on the ball for next time.
If you choose to update the product yourself, you may find yourself looking at a range of products. These products can range in interest rate, setup fee, and terms. The system you use is not an advisory service, meaning if you make a mistake, the blame is on you. An adviser is different as we will highlight the pros and cons of each option, logically explaining the true cost of each option.
How long does it take to update the mortgage rate with the same lender?
Updating the mortgage rate can often be completed on the same day. However, some lenders require notice to avoid dropping onto the higher standard variable rate. The best ideal situation is to speak with us six months before your rate ends. However, even if you have already entered the standard variable rate, we will help you put that application in as soon as possible.
How do I sign up?
If you would like a free comparison of the market and an adviser to help you update your mortgage rate, contact us on 01778 428158.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
What’s available in September...

Forty-six Years in the Heart of Market Deeping
We have been in Market Deeping since 1978 and recently celebrated our fortysixth anniversary. We would like to say a big thank you to all our regular clients for your support and loyalty. We are also grateful to clients who are using us for the first time (most of whom have come to us through recommendations). We have always relied on recommendations for our work, and we take great pride in serving the local community and surrounding areas with valuable, all-round legal services. We also sponsor several charities, especially local ones.
We are delighted to introduce our latest recruit (Purdy Freedman). She joined us at the start of May as head of our conveyancing team. She is an experienced solicitor and therefore fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, but she specialises in residential conveyancing and some commercial work. Therefore, you get value for money in that your business is being looked after by a qualified and experienced solicitor.
It was lovely to see some of our clients at the Raft Race recently and we look forward to seeing you in the office whether you need conveyancing services or advice relating to private client work such as wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, probate work, and trusts (including inheritance and care home fees planning). We can also help with commercial leases, settlement agreements and much more.
We are always happy to have a brief meeting with you (before you instruct us) and so please feel free to
come in and chat to our receptionist to arrange this. For instance, it would be in your best interests to visit before you place your property on the market for sale. In this way, you have plenty of time to choose the conveyancer that is right for you, rather than having to make an instant/rushed decision when a buyer is found.

Postcards from the Past
KINDLY SUPPLIED BY DEEPINGS HERITAGE
These Deeping scenes from around 1900 each hold a clue to their exact whereabouts, even though distinctive buildings in them no longer exist. The Three Tuns public house in High Street, Deeping St James thrived for over two hundred years until 1997, when standing unoccupied, it was damaged by fire. Another arson attack the following year sealed its fate and the pub was demolished, to be replaced by an apartment block. “Tuns” were large barrels of beer, once pictured on the pub’s sign.
Across the road, the tall chimney belonged to Market Deeping Gas Light and Coke Company which was formed in the 1850s to provide gas lighting for the Market Place. Paraffin lamps were still used in houses many years later, until gas mains were gradually extended throughout the streets. After local gas production stopped, the site was sold in 1965 and later used to build Cartmel Court, which the developers named after a racecourse in Cumbria.
The identifying feature on this postcard is next to the man wearing a white coat in the
foreground. It’s the old boundary post between the two Deepings, and the building behind it has been converted into The Boundary fish and chip shop.
The Hall, Market Deeping, was an ancient farmhouse also known as Wake Hall, after the Wake family who were Lords of the Manor in the fourteenth century. That building was taken down in 1907 and a new stone farmhouse erected on the site.
The white milepost standing in front dates back to the stagecoach era and pinpoints the location as Halfleet at the junction with Church Street. In the days of turnpike or toll roads, posts recorded each mile travelled, and this one shows the distance to Lincoln. After the pond next to it was drained and the road widened, the post was moved a few metres to its present position near Rectory Paddock.
Older residents can remember a stream running from the pond under the roadway and, centuries earlier, it flowed behind houses on the west side of Church Street to join the River Welland in Stamford Road. Known as the “haer fleot” or stony stream in Old English, it’s the origin of Halfleet’s name.
The last of many generations of farmers at the Hall was Mr John Eve who died in 1985. The cattle sheds, barns and outbuildings were demolished, and in June 1989 the farmhouse itself was knocked down, to be replaced by the present housing development known as Hall Farm. Not only the name lives on. The stone wall next to the man on the postcard was also retained as a link to the site’s antiquity.

Five Convincing Scams You Will Want to Avoid
Solar Panel
Proofing
By Eileen Le Voi at Safe Local Trades
Have you ever read about victims of scams handing over their life savings and thought ‘that will never happen to me’? Even unskilled fraudsters can now create sophisticated ads, seen and shared by tens of thousands on social media platforms, or mimic the websites, phone numbers and email addresses of genuine businesses. Along with Which?, Safe Local Trades is aiming to raise awareness of these scams.
1) Hijacked holiday bookings
Weak hotel email and booking systems are being targeted by hackers to send troublingly plausible messages to holidaymakers.
Once they’ve gained access to the systems of hotels and B&Bs, they’re armed with guests’ contact and booking details, and can send fake messages, texts or emails. Typically, messages claim there’s a problem with your payment, before asking you to ‘verify’ or ‘update’ your card details on phishing sites designed to look like Booking.com.
2) Fake phone and broadband providers
Here the scammers may try to convince you that you’re owed a refund, offer new equipment to fix nonexistent connection issues, or entice you with offers to upgrade your package, reduce bills or claim loyalty deals. A nasty trick is to ask you to share your screen, by downloading ‘remote access’ software.
Never disclose financial information over the phone.
3) Fake ads and rip-off subscriptions
You might be bombarded by sneaky subscriptions hidden in misleading ads. Which? reports some victims were paying as much as £50 a month to companies they had never heard of. Many have faced a battle to get a refund from their card provider, because payments appeared to be ‘authorised’.
4) Your bank account drained in minutes
Which? was the first to raise the alarm earlier this year about e-money firm Revolut and account takeover fraud (when criminals hack into financial accounts to make unauthorised transfers).
All the victims were reported to be experienced business owners, including one who lost £165,000 in an hour and another who lost £40,000 in ten minutes. None have been reimbursed.
5) Investment fraud
Investment scammers stole an average of nearly £13 million per week from almost 100,000 victims in 2020-23, according to data from Action Fraud.
Sadly, many households are being drawn into bogus investments and ‘get-rich-quick’ schemes run by criminal gangs.

Now is the time to lift onions and potatoes before the arrival of cold, damp days and before the slugs and worms can invade the crop. Onions should be kept in the light, and you can string them and then hang in a cool frost-free place such as a shed.
On the other hand, potatoes should be stored in a dark, dry, frost-free place, such as a garage or shed, to prevent them turning green or rotting. Store in hessian or paper sacks and check from time-to-time in case any are rotten as they will have a swift effect on the good tubers. It is a good idea to fork the ground over within a few days of lifting your potatoes as any tubers left will sprout next year and become a reservoir for disease and potato blight spores.
If you haven’t already made a composter now is a good time as the summer harvest comes to an end there will be plenty of plant debris which can be composted ready to condition the soil next spring. You can leave the roots of runner beans and peas in the ground as the nodules contain nitrogen. Do not forget to add “brown” materials such as autumn leaves, cardboard, egg boxes, eggshells and sweetcorn husks. The proportion of “greens” to “browns” should be 50/50 and no dairy products, meat or fish or non-degradable materials.
September is a good time to plant several crops which are hardy enough to withstand
the winter or are fast growing. Some examples are:
• Lamb’s lettuce, oriental leaves, winter lettuces, spinach and onion sets.
• Planting broad beans in the autumn is an effective way to avoid blackfly as they crop earlier.
• Both radishes and turnips are fast growing.
A few jobs that need doing include:
• Cut down asparagus to 2.5cms(1in) above the ground.
• Turn the compost heap and water if it is dry.
• Harvest apples and pears.
• Ripen pumpkins and squashes by removing leaves to allow sunlight in.
• Clear away old foliage and vegetation – leaving it to rot on the soil may spread diseases.
• Plant new strawberry plants and those propagated from runners.
• Sow “green manures” such as field beans, annual rye grass, winter mix or phacelia, which overwinter and can be dug in the ground next spring before they flower. The plants reduce nutrient leaching from the soil by winter rains and play a useful part in improving soil fertility.
• Apply nematodes to control slugs and snails while temperatures are still mild. Moist weather gives the best results.
• Feed all late crops with a general fertiliser such as pelleted chicken manure.

The ever-popular Deepings Lions annual ‘World Famous’ charity Duck Race will be taking place on Sunday September 1st, from 12 noon to 5pm to raise funds for Facial Palsy UK and Pancreatic Cancer UK.
Facial Palsy UK, a national charity based in Market Deeping, provides information and support for people living with the condition. Pancreatic Cancer UK funds research into the disease and supports people and their families affected by the disease. Deepings Lions President, Tony Plunkett said that the Pancreatic Cancer charity was, “Especially close to our hearts as one of our long-standing members died of this disease in December last year”.
The duck races take place on the River Welland alongside Bridge Street, Deeping St James. In the main event, which is sponsored by Hegarty Solicitors, 3,000 or more ducks will battle it out for victory.

Fancy Joining a Friendly, Successful Choir?
Then Try The Glebe Singers
The Glebe Singers, who will be celebrating their 25th birthday shortly, have just completed another very successful year of singing.
With performances over the past months at Langtoft, Bourne and Peakirk, together with entertaining residents at local care homes last Christmas, they are already receiving requests to perform in different venues throughout the area. The choir has gone from strength to strength in number over the year and every single member, whether long-standing or a more recent newcomer, has contributed to make the Glebe Singers the strong choir that it is today.
At their recent concerts, audiences were able to enjoy a wide range of music - from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Gershwin; Rachmaninov to Copland; and more traditional pieces, such as ‘Dance to Your Daddy’ and ‘The Wellerman’.
The choir can be found rehearsing on Wednesday evenings, 7.30pm - 9pm during school term time at The Green School (PE6 8DA - opposite St. Guthlac’s Church in Market Deeping). They are currently taking a well-deserved rest over the summer holidays but will be back there from September 4th.
Whether you can read music or not and think that you might like to sing in a choir, they would love to meet you. Rehearsals are guaranteed to be a fun and social occasion, and you will be assured of a warm welcome, even if it is just to pop in and see if they are the choir you might like to be a part of.
More information can be found on their website www.glebesingers.org, their Facebook page, by contacting Chairman Derek Harris on 07789 357354 or 01733 574311 or by emailing glebesingers@gmail.com.

Wills
Why do I need a will?
Wills are important to ensure that your assets pass to those you would like. If you are not married, your partner will not automatically inherit your estate.
If you have children, you can also use a will to nominate guardians to ensure they are looked after if the worst may happen.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
What are they?
Lasting Powers of Attorneys (LPAs) are documents that allow someone that you nominate as your attorney, to deal with your financial or health affairs on your behalf.
These are used when you lose mental capacity but must be created while you can still make decisions. If you do not create these in time, then unfortunately the solution is more costly and time consuming.
Probate
What is it?
When a person sadly passes away, some banks and institutes require a Grant of Probate to enable you to collect in their assets. If you are selling a house, a solicitor will require this to complete the sale.
We are licensed to assist with the probate application on your behalf, as well as distribute the estate, making everything simpler at this difficult time.
