Family Law

In today’s modern world there is no such thing as an ‘average’ family or ‘normal’ relationship. You may be married, living together, or separated. Children, step-children or adopted children are perhaps living with you or living elsewhere. Grandparents or other family members could also be involved. Whatever your situation, relationships can sometimes break down and that’s when turning to a family solicitor can really help you to resolve difficulties quickly.

Adoption

If you decide to adopt a child, either in the UK or from overseas, having expert legal advice is key. QualitySolicitors can support you in this highly complex legal area.

Arrangements for Children

When a relationship breaks down and children are involved, your main concern will be to protect their wellbeing. So it’s good to know that at QualitySolicitors we make your children our number one priority too.

Care Proceedings

If authorities become concerned about the safety or wellbeing of a child, the local authority may start a process known as ‘care proceedings’. They may also make a care order for the child which means that the local authority will have responsibility for the child, making decisions about their welfare – such as where they live and who cares for them.

Children in Care

If you are the parent or relative of a child who has been taken into care, you’ll naturally want to be sure that they are being well looked after. You may wish to challenge certain decisions that are being made about the child’s welfare or you may want to make arrangements to have more contact with the child.

Divorce

If you’re thinking about divorce, it’s good to get legal advice as soon as possible so that you know what your options are. From there, if you go on to decide to file for a divorce, it’s natural to have lots of questions about the process. You’ll want to know what impact divorce will have on your home, possessions and finances. And if you have children, you’ll want to know how to make the right decisions for them too.

Domestic Violence

If you’re in a relationship that isn't working for you, either because you feel threatened or are with a violent or abusive partner, it can be difficult to know where to turn to for help - but it’s important not to suffer in silence. Asking for help is the first step to resolving the situation.

Living Together

More and more couples are choosing to live together and share their lives without getting married. And whilst emotionally, you may feel no different to a married couple; under the law, couples that live together without getting married do not share the same legal rights as those who marry. This can make things difficult if the relationship breaks down in the future particularly in regards to finance and property. And if children are involved, it’s important to protect their future too.

Prenuptial Agreements

Planning a wedding is an exciting time - and also a time when you start thinking about your long-term future. You’re probably looking forward to a long and happy marriage but it’s also natural to wonder what unexpected twists and turns life might bring.

Separation

Making the decision to end a relationship and separate is rarely easy and sometimes you may need professional legal help to ensure the separation process is handled fairly. Whether you’re facing a marriage separation or are ending a relationship after living together, it’s likely that you’ll have lots of questions and concerns. You’ll want to know what will happen regarding your home, possessions and finances. And if children are involved, you’ll want to ensure that their wellbeing is the main priority.

Housing and Property

At QualitySolicitors we understand that one of the most important things in anyone’s life is their home. And whether you own a property or rent, we know that your home means much more to you than just bricks and mortar.

Buying at Auction

Buying property at auction can be an exciting experience and is often a great way to get a good deal. However, it can also be a step into the unknown - particularly if it’s your first time. By talking to a legal expert before buying at auction you can approach the process with confidence and avoid costly mistakes.

Conveyancing

There are many reasons for moving house but the one thing that everyone buying or selling a property has in common is that they want the process to be as smooth and as hassle-free as possible.

Investment and Buy to Let Properties

More and more people are enjoying the rewards of investing in property. And buying-to-let is a great way to ensure that your property provides a regular income and strong return on your investment. The key to successful property investment is to do your homework and seek expert legal advice before investing in a property.

Leasehold Properties

If authorities become concerned about the safety or wellbeing of a child, the local authority may start a process known as ‘care proceedings’. They may also make a care order for the child which means that the local authority will have responsibility for the child, making decisions about their welfare – such as where they live and who cares for them.

Neighbour Disputes

Having a disagreement with your neighbour can seriously affect your home life – and the quality of it. QualitySolicitors can help you tackle any neighbourly disputes promptly and effectively.

Planning Law

If you are looking to make changes to your home, there are planning laws that say what you can, and cannot do. There are also certain processes to follow. QualitySolicitors take away many of the worries as we know you have enough on your plate.

Remortgaging

As a homeowner, at some point you may wish to consider remortgaging – either to take advantage of a better mortgage deal or to release money from your property. And with different mortgage providers offering different deals, you may wish to consider changing to a new lender.

Tenancy Agreements and Deposits

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, it makes good sense to have a solid tenancy agreement in place. Not only will this highlight your rights and responsibilities but it will also help maintain a positive relationship between you and your landlord or tenant.

Transfer of Title

Are you looking to transfer the ownership of a property from one person to another? Although this is a fairly straightforward process, it’s important that it is completed correctly to ensure everything progresses smoothly and to avoid unexpected problems in the future.

Mental Health and Capacity

Dealing with a mental illness isn’t easy but, whatever your circumstances, you deserve to be treated fairly. At QualitySolicitors we work hard to ensure that mental health patients and their families and carers, are given the care and treatment they deserve and are entitled to.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Whether you’d like to create a power of attorney to provide reassurance for the future, or you need to challenge an existing power of attorney, we can help. At QualitySolicitors we have in-depth knowledge of this specialist area and can answer any questions you may have.

Wills and Probate

Life is full of twists and turns and none of us can be sure what the future holds. That’s why creating a will makes good sense. As more and more people realise the importance of making a will, it’s no longer seen as something just for the elderly or ill but simply part of sound financial planning for any family or individual.

Estate Administration

Upon the death of a relative, administering their estate is an important step to undertake. In some circumstances, this is more difficult because there is no will or it is somehow invalid. We can guide you through what the right steps are.

Inheritance and Tax Planning

Planning ahead for when you die allows you to set out clearly who should get what from your estate. QualitySolicitors can help you think through your plans and their financial impact. Our aim is to ensure that your loved ones are cared for when you no longer can.

Making a Will

For many of us, making a will is something we know we should do but never quite get round to. Of course, it’s important not to put it off and the good news is that at QualitySolicitors, making a will could be much quicker and easier than you think.

Power of Attorney

In an uncertain world it’s reassuring to know that our wishes will be respected even if we’re not in a position to make our own decisions. That’s why many people choose to create a lasting power of attorney (LPA) to provide protection should an accident or ill health prevent them from making decisions in the future.

Trusts

For many people, trusts are a useful way to assist in tax planning and to preserve assets. There are various types of trusts and they can be created during your lifetime or by your will.

Will and Inheritance Disputes

If you are looking to make changes to your home, there are planning laws that say what you can, and cannot do. There are also certain processes to follow. QualitySolicitors take away many of the worries as we know you have enough on your plate.
