Death with a Will: A guide

This guidance applies to the situation where someone has died leaving a Will. If your loved one has not made a Will you might like to see our guidance note; Death Hannah Elizabeth Bell LLB Director without a Will: Photo: Powder & Paint Photography Guidance to assist those who administer the estate available at www.lakeslegallimited.co.uk

The loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult times of life for those left behind. It can be a very difficult and confusing time. Talking about death and what we would like to happen to our assets once we are no longer here is not a common subject of conversation. Leaving a Will can ease the burden placed on those left behind as the Will sets out exactly what the deceased would like to happen to their assets on their death.

renounce their appointment or take a ‘back seat’ in the administration if they do not feel able to take on the role of executor.

The role of the executor is wide and varied but essentially they have five key roles:

1. To collect in and account for all of the deceaseds assets.

2. To complete a tax return for HM Revenue and Customs.

3. To apply to the Probate Registry for the formal authority to administer the deceased’s estate. This is called applying for a Grant of Probate when the deceased left a Will. This document is needed to realise most of the deceased’s assets. There are legal rules which govern this application process.

4. To pay any debts or taxes due (Including Inheritance Tax) on the death of the deceased from estate funds.

5. To distribute the estate monies amongst those entitled to benefit.

Are you Psychic?

M

ore and more people are realising there is more to this life that what we can see and are experiencing strange goings on, asking questions and wondering what it is all about.

Maybe you are noticing sparkly lights out the corners of your eyes, seeing shadows, getting a strong smell such as perfume or tobacco or hearing someone calling your name but no one is there?

Or maybe you always know who is calling – before looking at the caller display! Or, you think of someone then bump in to them. These are all psychic skills.

There are so many signs that indicate spiritual awakening maybe happening for you such as:

• Changing sleep pattern, waking up two or three times a night.

• Food intolerances.

• Seeing auras around people, plants, animals, Amanda “The Angel Mystic” and objects.

As seen on TV • Getting a buzz or ringing in your ear.

• Vivid dreams with messages in them.

• A great desire to break free from life-draining jobs or people.

• After years of being happy and content with the same job, house or partner, feeling it is not enough and wanting to leave, change your life and be free, creative and be who you really are.

• Hands tingling and getting very warm.

• Noticing synchronicities.

• Wanting to discover the reason you are on the earth for.

These signs have been coming to light in my one to one readings I do in my studio in Windermere and via Skype and Phone, so I know this is happening for so many. My Psychic Parties are a great fun way of realising what is going on for you.

At a Psychic Party we start by playing some “psychic games” things like Psychic Pass the Parcel, Eye Spy with my Clairvoyant Eye, Human Pendulum and some telepathy games.

We use dowsing rods and pendulums so you can really try what works for you and what doesn’t, as you may have more Clairvoyant skills by that I mean being able to see things either with your own eyes or using your third eye. Or maybe you have a gift of claircognizance which means you just know something, even if you don’t know how. If this is the case you are probably always saying “I knew that would happen”.

Amanda After the games I do the one to one readings and whilst the rest of the party are playing with cards and some others games. These parties are certainly a fun night filled with discovery about you and have been going down a storm. Even The Sun Newspaper had As seen on TV one and ran an article on them.

"The Angel Mystic"

So if you want your own all you need is between 5 and 10 people and they cost just £25 per person. For more details of the parties and my other work please go to www.theangelmystic.co.uk

Amanda has recently launched a home learning program, that are done via calling in or logging in via internet to a teleseminar call.

So more people can learn about Spiritual matters from the comfort of their own home.

The first one is Manifesting with Your Angels, but there will be more to come covering Angel Awareness and Spiritual Development.

NEW GRANTS FOR SHOP FRONTS AND HOMES IN ULVERSTON CONSERVATION AREA

Ulverston Community Partnership’s Business and Enterprise group and Ulverston Town Council are launching two new grant schemes for 2013.

Bishop Rowe said:

The Residential Improvement Scheme will provide a grant of up to £100.00 towards external house painting for house frontages in the conservation area.

Both are discretionary grants and all applications must be in by 10 May. Decisions on grants will be made before the end of May All work must be completed before the end of January 2014 and the grant will be paid on submission of receipts.

The Ulverston Shop Front Improvement scheme will be the second year of this popular grant which offers a grant of up to £500.00 for improvements to shop fronts in the conservation area. The grant will be for painting, new signage, guttering and any other visible improvements to the shop front.

Funds for these grants have come from Ulverston Town Council, South Lakeland District Council and the Portas Town Team Grant.

Chair of the Business and Enterprise group and Ulverston Town Councillor Cllr Norman

“We are very pleased to be able to offer of these grants. Last year’s round of shop front improvement grants helped to improve the appearance of many shops in the town centre and we are delighted to be able to extend this for another year. New for this year is the grant to help people paint the front of their houses. We think £100.00 will go some way to encouraging people to get the paint brushes out”

Interactive forms can be found on the Ulverston Town Council Website, www.ulverstoncouncil.org.uk. Paper copies are available from Ulverston Town Hall.

Utility Providers

Want to know about a company who’s mission statement is :

‘To become the UK’s number 1 TRUSTED Utility Supplier’? read on….

Hi - I’m Jean Walsh and I’ve come home to spread the word in the Furness and South Lakes area about the existence of The Utility Wa re h o u s e Discount Club which does not advertise (therefore keeping costs to a minimum for its members) but relies on recommendation and word of mouth to grow its customer base, currently in excess of 450,000 members and growing fast….

The club is operated by a British company -

12

Telecom plus PLC - established in 1996, now listed in the FTSE 250. It is based in London and has a UK call centre.

When people ask me ‘What do you do ?’ I say ‘I teach people how to save money or make money which interests you?’ Having originally been a customer I decided I was prepared to recommend the club as an authorised distributor and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, what could be better than meeting lots of new people and helping them – especially in the current financial climate!

I’ve just qualified for the company ‘mini’ – so you won’t miss seeing me when I’m in your area – just look out for the ‘Purple Pigs’. We’re out to make a ‘PIG’ difference to people’s utility costs wherever we can.

Anyone interested in joining the team, either call me on the number below or take a look at www.EarningsforFurness.co.uk

“You are what you eat”

“You are what you eat” quite literally, over the course of a year your body will pretty much renew itself with the ingredients that you put into it. Here at the wellness centre we are very well aware that nutrition plays a huge part in performance, results and recovery. In fact it’s about 70% what you eat and 30% what you do with it in life and in the gym that gives you the end result.

SO - Are you fed up with feeling tired and lethargic, would you like a better body, an upgrade perhaps?

Why not try the “Better body challenge” Over the next few months I will be helping you get to your level 10 and for those of you who like a little outside help, incentive and motivation Herbalife are giving you just that.

As you know I write a regular article to get you thinking about adopting a healthy active lifestyle.

This month I’ve given you a couple of my favourite recipes to try, you’ll love them and there will be many more to come, I’d also like to get you out and about doing a little exercise in the fresh air or having fun in a class somewhere, how about it?

So If you are interested get in touch, we can definitely help you.

Depending on the results you are looking for you will need a personal plan.

Fat loss, fitness, muscle gain. The core of a good diet is the same but the detail and activity is quite different.

As a rule of thumb Start the day with a healthy balanced breakfast, a few stretches and perhaps a walk or run to get you going.

Eat every 3-4 hours don’t leave it any longer, snack on protein, raw veg or a little fruit. Plan ahead and prepare to succeed.

Drink 2-3 litres of water and green tea.

Find out what your optimal protein and calorie intake is, we can help with that. Most people are surprised that low calorie isn’t usually the best option and that they don’t eat enough healthy protein on a daily basis.

Herbalife are launching a Level 10 challenge for those who make the most progress in 90 days with local, regional and national prizes worth thousands of pounds ££££££££ With 3 categories for fat loss fitness and muscle gain, everyone can enter.

I will be co ordinating challenges across Cumbria so if you want to be involved get in touch. I am also looking for people who can head the local challenges, who are enthusiastic and supportive who would like to have a bit of fun helping their work place or local community meet the challenge.You will get a weekly support group, with information, activities and motivation and a little extra in your purse!

Call now for details the challenge starts last week in May.

Muscle' Stew

This is my own 'Muscle Stew' - which packed with tender meat and rich gravy - is a firm favourite. I've used carrots but you can add any root vegetable to suit and adding extra veg is also a good way of bulking - up the dish. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 200g lean beef – cubed • 4 rashers lean bacon – chopped • 1tbsp plain flour • 1tbsp olive oil • ½ glass red wine • 4g butter (I use ‘I can’t believe it’s not butter’) • 1 onion – diced • 1 carrot – sliced • 2 garlic cloves – crushed • 500ml beef stock • 1 bay leaf • 2 sprigs each of : thyme, parsley & marjoram (or any fresh or dried herbs to suit your taste) • Freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1) Pre heat oven to 160° and coat beef cubes with the flour.

2) Heat the oil in a flame proof casserole dish or oven-proof pan and add the bacon, cook till brown.

3) Remove the bacon and set aside.

4) Heat the butter in the pan and add onions and garlic, cook until golden brown.

5) Return the bacon and beef to the pan, add wine and cook for a few minutes to reduce.

6) Add vegetables, stock, herbs and stir.

7) Cover and cook in oven for 1 ½ hours or until meat is tender

Grilled chicken with mango salad

This is a tasty light dish that is very low in calories and fat, yet surprisingly satisfying. The chicken is rich in protein, which helps promote a feeling of fullness and feeds back to the brain telling you to stop eating. Constant dieting can mean your diet lacks nutrients, compromising your immune system; mangoes are extremely rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, which will give your immunity a boost and help you feel more energised. For a more substantial meal, serve the chicken with a little basmati rice.

Ingredients:

• 4 skinless chicken breasts • 1 tbsp olive oil • Zest and juice of 2 limes • 1 red chilli, finely sliced • 1 clove of garlic, crushed • 1 large mango, diced • 1 small red onion, finely sliced • 200g sugar snap peas • 1 bag of rocket leaves • Handful of fresh coriander

Method:

1. Mix the oil with the lime zest, half the juice, chilli and garlic. Place the chicken breasts in a dish, coat thoroughly with the chilli mixture and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight).

2. Place the mango pieces in a large bowl; add the remaining lime juice and red onion.

3. Cook the chicken on a hot griddle pan for 5 minutes each side.

4. Meanwhile, blanch the sugar snap peas for 1 minute in boiling water, drain, run under cold water and then add to the mango with the rocket and coriander.

5.Toss together, season and serve with the chicken.

Massage, Nutrition & Acupuncture

When was the last time you spent some quality time on yourself? Our lives are often filled with high demands at work or our home lives. These continuous stresses and demands can have some serious health effects, often leading to poor digestion and nutritional uptake, intolerance to food products and allergies, lack in energy, poor sleep and a lowering of our immune system.

At Review we have a whole range of relaxing and therapeutic treatments that will help you manage with the daily stresses more effectively and boost your inner strength.

Outer beauty

Outer beauty is definitely “in the eye of the beholder� but having beauty and hair treatments gives us confidence and when we all have self-confidence we radiate natural beauty.

At Review our professional hair colourists/stylist will give you advice and inspiration based on their experience and expert knowledge. We use Aveda Full Spectrum colours to create rich, vibrant, customised colour to suit your needs.

A relaxing hand massage will be offered while your colour is taking. Our innovative team of stylists will create a look that suits you and your lifestyle.

After a thorough Hair consultation, enjoy a sensory journey using natural essential oils and a stress-relieving head & shoulder massage.

Tracy Wells Designer Millinery

My aim in life was always to be a hairdresser, a great hairdresser! Not just one who does shampoo and sets and works on old ladies, but one with vision and imagination to turn average looking ladies & men, into amazing ones! I got the best training I could get, worked in the best salons, until I bought my own, and this has always been what I do, until recently..... Back 5 years ago now having a room above my salon for something, I decided not to just throw another beautician at it, as the ones I have are great! A client told me she was going to hire a hat for a wedding, this started a very expensive and exclusive hobby! Finding a milliner whose work I admired took a long time, but I did find Eleda Hats in the end, I just wanted exclusive hats in my room, hats that you admire from afar because of the price tags!! But if I were going to hire hats out they had to be the best! So Ladies can hire a ÂŁ500 hat out for a fraction of the price!

Why shouldn’t we have amazing hats in Barrow??

This then was the beginning of people who didn’t want to wear a hat asking for fascinators to be made to match their outfits, and as the business grew so did my interest in making them..... A long way, but the only way to learn how to be a real couture milliner at the time was in the Cotswalds! So i went down each month for a year to gain my City and Guilds in Millinery, I qualified in 2011 and from then on have fallen in love with making hats, I make hats most days in-between doing hair! I have the best job in the world.... I make hats to suit each individual client, to their own head size, body shape, height and personality, I have always done hair this way, so it is I feel a natural progression!

A week in the life of a wedding guest “Comparatively simple for the bride…… ..utter nightmare for everyone else” Camilla Morton “How to Walk in High Heels: The Girl’s Guide

1

to Everything”

Despite the abundance of advice available on what to wear for weddings by way of the internet and magazines, most people struggle not to have a wardrobe dilemma.Weddings don’t come along every other weekend so we are generally out of practice and typically while you wait for years for a wedding invitation, more often than not you will receive 3 all at once.

A wedding is a splendid opportunity to dance, drink and dine all of which require an outfit with the right balance between comfort and formality. In the right outfit you can not only enjoy what can be a long but wonderful celebration but also be assured of looking fabulous forever in the photo album.

Here are some style tips to navigate the elusive semiformal wedding dress etiquette.

1. The outdoor country wedding calls for a pretty dress with jacket or cardigan.Wedges are preferable to heels so you don’t get stuck in the mud on your way to the marquee.A hat is rarely obligatory but it’s a great excuse to wear one and it really can make your outfit. madhatterscumbria.co.uk or call 012229 869887 to arrange a fitting.They will tailor any hat to your outfit and rent it to you for the day.

2. Trouser suits are big fashion news this season and make a great investment for years after the vows have been exchanged.

A trouser suit would be suitable at any wedding especially a more casual on at a registry office.

3. When you need to attend consecutive weddings with the same crowd or you want to change your outfit from day to night at the same wedding you will need some multitasking garments. Try using a skirt as a dress to alternate your look.

4. The Beach Wedding: Hurrah if you are invited to a beach wedding! Who cares what you wear as you are guaranteed sunshine and can save money on shoes by going barefoot.

Furthermore, if you make a sartorial mistake at a beach wedding you can drown your sorrows in factor 30 and margaritas!

5. Traditional church wedding: They say you should avoid black to a wedding and its best not to wear white but I can’t see why you can’t wear both together and back one of the biggest fashion stories of the season.

6. The Vegas Wedding: At last a wedding where you can be expected to make a statement, all the rules are out the window, short skirts, look at me prints, outlandish accessories, you’ll be the odd one out if you don’t!

As the weather hopefully becomes warmer, the Wedding and Christening season is now well and truly upon us. So you might have organised the most exciting bit - THE dress!

But what about your one year old son, or your two year old flower girl? With the men's suit hire often kicking in at 2yrs old and many bridal shops the same, Boogles and Bump aim to fill this gap. We have a lovely choice of outfits for your boys under two, and a great array of dresses for your little fairy princesses. We can talk through the different options we can offer, and provide a personalised service to meet your needs.

What if, as many couples who are embarking on marriage, you already have a young family for example a nine month old son and a three year old daughter? You may want to co-ordinate your son with his father but it is difficult to find a 5 piece grey suit for this age band that looks right.Well how about co-ordinating a silk waistcoat and bow tie with a matching flower on his sister's dress?

We offer this

26

service from a choice of 6 different colourways. We offer both in stock styles and styles that are specially made to order which may be suitable for the child that doesnt fit the jellymould! We are also stockists for Sarah Louise and can order subject to availability anything in their range up to 12 years old.

A Wedding or a Christening can be very expensive and we recognise that budgeting is very important. That is why we offer flexible payment plans to suit your needs on both in stock and made to order items. Visits to the shop are encouraged and browsers are welcome. Our collection can also be viewed at www.booglesandbump.co.uk We look forward to meeting you soon..
