A brief introduction to Probate

---------------------------A Grant of Probate is one of two forms of Grants of Representation issued by the various Probate Registers which are dotted up and down the country.

Whilst being a technical legal term, the effect of a Grant of Administration is really very simple. It is an Order confirming that one or more people have the legal authority to take over the financial and legal affairs of a deceased person. In law we called this the administration of an estate.

Grants of Representation are issued by the Probate Registry because a deceased person can no longer manage their own affairs. They cannot write cheques, pay bills or sell their home. In order to ensure that these things are done properly, without illegal interference or fraud, English Law requires that an Executor or Representative be officially appointed by the High Court, through the Probate Registry to take over and administer the deceased person’s affairs.

Probate, has the legal authority to wind down the deceased person’s affairs. They can carry out simple tasks, such as payment of outstanding bills, as well as releasing money from bank accounts and selling or distributing the deceased person’s home and personal property.

There are two types of Grant of Representation.

The first is a Grant of Probate. A Grant of Probate is issued where the deceased person left a valid will and nominated one or more people to act as their Executors once they have died. If a person or persons are named as an Executor in the will, then those persons are entitled to apply to the Probate Registry for Grant of Probate.

The second type of Grant is a Grant of Letters of Administration. This is the Order or Grant which a deceased relative, friend or solicitor must apply for if the deceased person has not left a will and not named people as their Executors.

For more information please visit www.fyldelaw.co.uk

In simple terms, this means that the person that receives the Grant of Representation, or Grant of

As we enter the final quarter of the season several LSA YMCA FC teams are in the hunt for honours. The club’s Under 9s recently won the Poulton Primary League’s Cup Final but due to FA rules, scores, scorers and opponents are not permitted to be published. All the other YMCA teams, the Under 10s, 11s, 12s, 14s, 15s and 16s have all reached the semi finals of their respective cup competitions. The Under 15s and 16s are both well in contention for their league championships with the Under 11s almost assured now of the runners up spot.

Lytham St Annes News

The Under 12s Girls are currently unbeaten in the North Valley League and the Under 14s are making a good account of themselves despite the majority of the girls being a year younger than their opponents.

They have also reached the cup semi finals where

they will meet neighbours St Annes FC in a local derby. The club’s Ormerod Disability Section have won two recent tournaments and are now planning a tour to Scotland at the end of the season and are looking for sponsorship to cover the cost of coach hire for this trip.

Civic thanks at farmers’ historic dance Fylde’s food producers were given civic thanks when the borough’s mayor attended Lytham Farmers’ Ball.

Almost 200 farmers and guests attended the dance and five-course meal at the Grand Hotel in St Annes. The first ball was held in 1911 as an offshoot of Lytham Agricultural Show. Many attendees at this year’s dance are sons or grandsons of the original attendees.

Councillor Linda Nulty, Fylde mayor, said: ‘Everyone had a wonderful evening. I was honoured to attend this historic ball and to wish them well for the future. We need to be grateful to the area’s farmer and various food producers for the work they do on our behalf, day in and day out and at all hours of the day. Many members of the public do not realise how much we owe to their efforts. I was pleased, as mayor, to pass on the thanks of the Fylde public.’

Attendees donated £250 to the RNLI, the charity of From left, Tom Garlick the chairman of Lytham Farmers’ Ball, Mrs Sheila the chairman’s choice.

Lytham St Annes & Fylde News

Have You Thought About Being A Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator?

Neighbourhood Watch, along with a host of other Watch Schemes that the Police has created, brings a community together with the same goal in mind – to help make a particular area a better place to live; people watch out for each other and tell the Police if they suspect a crime is taking place or there are circumstances that may lead to a crime – such as suspicious people or vehicles driving around the neighbourhood.

A Watch scheme is a citizen-organised system of policing in a particular community or environment to prevent crime and disorder. Being a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator is not a difficult or time-consuming task – in fact, you decide the number of homes you wish to include in your Watch scheme.

So, you may ask, how do I go about becoming a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator? You either

Contact Sue Blackburn, Watch Liaison Officer, Lancashire Constabulary on 01253 604134 or email her susan.blackburn@lancashire. pnn.police.uk or talk to a member of your Neighbourhood Policing team. Information will be provided on the process, which is quick and easy. Interested? Please contact Sue Blackburn, above, or a member of your Neighbourhood Policing team.
