INDEX OF ADVERTISERSRIGHT UP YOUR STREET LEGAL MATTERS

by Jacqueline Emmerson

emmersonssolicitorswww.emmersons-solicitors.co.uk

My Uncle, who lived alone, has just died,what should I do next?

CollaborativeFamilyLawyer

This is obviously a common situation which raises certain urgent issues.

1. Make sure the house is secure. If there were a number of carers from an agency visiting the house did they have keys? If yes, then you may wish to consider changing the locks. If the house has window locks then lock them. Insurers will insist upon this.2. As a matter of urgency look for an insur-ance policy in respect of buildings and con-tents. If you can’t find a paper version there may be reference to a policy in your uncle’s computer. Or you could go back through the last year of bank statements looking for payments to insurance companies. At this stage you may need to instruct a solicitor to assist you as financial institutions may not be prepared to give you information.3. The house may not have been insured. Emmersons Solicitors Probate Department has dealt with a number of cases recently where this was the case. Some older people may overlook this especially if they are in ill health. 4. If there is an insurance policy in place then inform the insurer immediately. Some companies will allow the policy to continue until renewal. However, they will place condi-tions upon the policy. Eg. That the property must be visited weekly, or that the water is switched off. Some companies will refuse to renew the policy once it has expired. You need confirmation of the position in writing.5. If there is no insurance or the existing company will not allow a policy to continue then you will need an Empty Property Policy.

They can be quite difficult to purchase. Most solicitors deal with specialist insurers in this regard.6. Is there a funeral plan? This will be linked to one company. If you use another company for the funeral then the plan is wasted.7. Freeze all bank accounts. If you need money for the funeral and there are suffi-cient funds in your uncle’s bank account then the bank will release money directly to a funeral director. At Emmersons we regularly arrange for this to happen.8. Check damp garages and outhouses for paperwork. You would be surprised at how many people keep the deeds to their house in the garage! I always advise my clients that we can store their deeds free of charge.9. Is there a will? If you cannot find one in the house then contact your uncle’s last known solicitor. Many people do not keep a copy of their will in their home. If this applies to you then obtain a copy from your solicitor and advise your relatives which solicitor is storing the original.

As you can see there is a lot to do very quickly. Some people are happy to sort out all of the above without help. However, should you find the task too daunting then ask a solicitor for help.

DAFT AS A BRUSH CHARITABLE TRUSTDaft as a Brush Charitable Trust was founded by Brian Burnie to provide free transport for Cancer outpatients that, be-cause of their illness, have to undergo Chemotherapy and/or Radiotherapy treatment. There is no charge to the patients for the service that entails collecting and transporting the patients in a safe and comfortable environment from where they are living, taking them to where they will be having their treatment and, if required, staying with the patient whilst they have their treatment and then bringing them back home. The patient’s transport is a fleet of brand new Nissan NV 200 seven seater people carriers that are staffed by two persons, a Chauffeur and a Companion. The target/goal is to create a world-class organisation that is capable of transporting 50,000 cancer patients per year.If you are interested in becoming a VOLUNTEER either visit our website www.daftasabrush.org.uk to download an application form or send us a stamped addressed envelope to 3-5 Hood Street, 1st Floor Grainger Chambers, New-castle upon Tyne, NE1 6JQ or call in to our Hood Street office (we are between the Vivienne Westwood shop and the Newcastle Building Society branch on the first floor) to have an informal chat with one of our staff. We look forward to welcoming you to Daft as a Brush.

be told that your package to Australia should have been sent months ago? Your friends will be lucky to get their gifts by Christmas 2013.

And what about picking the tree? You have to wonder round endlessly at the same old place, examine, pick-up and twirl each and every one, before going back to the very first one you all liked. Then, when you have paid what is now an enormous amount for such a seasonal commodity, you realise you can’t get it home because it is too big for the car or you have forgotten the straps to tie it to the roof. Then, the season of goodwill soon evaporates.

Please, at least let’s get bonfire night scratched off the calendar first before dropping off the letters to Santa. In the meantime can I be first to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Enjoy the festivities.

CHRISTMAS ISCOMING AND THEFESTIVITIES HAVEALREADY BEGUN.Yes, I know you have probably just packed away your Team GB t-shirts, filed photographs from the summer holidays and put the lawn mower back in the shed, but the season of goodwill is just around the corner. And it seems to get earlier every year.

You can already have a flutter on whether or not it will be a White Christmas and also who will top of the pops this Yuletide. My tips, for what they are worth, are December 25 being the hottest day of the year and Cliff Richard back at number one. But I could be wrong and it is interesting to note that the odds, which constantly change, have been available from the bookies well before summer turned to autumn and the leaves started falling from the trees.

The next thing will be a mad dash to get trick or treat, or Halloween in old money, out the way and the tree up and decorated, cards sent and presents delivered. Probably easier to have everything wrapped up, in some cases literally, by November 1 and then we can start buying our Easter eggs.

It is all getting a little out of hand. You can already go into some shops and be serenaded by a musical background of seasonal tunes and carols. No wonder some of the assistants have had enough well before December.

What is wrong with the old traditions of leav-ing everything until the last minute? Is it not more festive to wait in a Post Office queue for what appears to hours on end and then
