Hi mate,

You sound like you’re all over this so the very best of luck with it all.

The only advice I can give your partner is do not feel like a mercenary or only interested in money by standing up for herself.

Her father wanted her to benefit by his passing (he’d have left a will otherwise ...

People are right cunts aren’t they? Why would this one sister think they have the right to decide who gets what? (Unless there actually are circumstances where they might actually be entitled to it)

I must be incredibly naive ( and had zero involvement with solicitors of any sort myself directly ...

the sister has said she wants no one to be with the mother during the call


And this isn’t ringing huge fucking alarm bells???

Tell the sister to go fuck herself - your partner will be with her mother if she wants to be and she has no say in the matter.

I’m telling you - this sister is going ...

There is no will that’s the problem

The solicitor has no duty to be impartial - she has a duty to act in her client's interests. If your partner's sister instructs her solicitor friend to go after everything then the solicitor ought to try to achieve that. So don't make the mistake of thinking a solicitor instructed by someone else ...

Thanks for you reply, my main question here is if the sister and solicitor are discussing this off book over lunch in your opinion can we trust that she will be impartial? She is due to call the mother tomorrow to clarify her wishes and the sister has said she wants no one to be with the mother ...

Not particularly - if a friend of mine were to have a parent die with no will, I’d happily sit down informally and talk to them without charging.

It’s what happens next which would be something to look out for.


Okay firstly I thought I had posted this in general but here is the full situation ...

Hi All, but probably jobbo and gg,

Just a quick question bit of a messy situation with my other half’s dad’s death while in a care home with no will, basically one of her sisters has appointed a solicitor who happens to be her friend she has has insisted that everything has to be above board but ...

Hadn’t read that and did speak to plenty of people who had it done before booking, infections and swelling seems quite common though.

I had mine mine last Wednesday, more tender now than the day after!

I don’t post very much but as many others have said what has happened to coaster does make you stop and think, as for living your best life I think I am , could obviously be better but that is the same for anyone no matter how much you earn, the problem for me and others have already touched on this ...

Jesus I hardly ever post but @Broccers what the actual fuck I know someone who died from and I have had this “imaginary” thing and seriously you can fuck right off

Thanks all, some good points to think about.

The other job would certainly give a better life/work balance in terms of it is home based, and unlikely to be getting hassled out of hours.

It is a small company with very little structure towards appraisals and development plans etc. I report to the ...

I have always been invested in the development and future of the company and all of the board know that which is why it feels like such a massive kick in the balls not being made a director before someone who has been there a 1/3rd of the time and not but much effort in, I guess ultimately the ...

Depends entirely on you. Working for a big corporate company interests me about as much as a punch in the face, but everyone is different.

I left a well established medium sized company to join what was more or less a start up. I've enjoyed being part of a growing team - my company has grown ...

That’s pretty much how I feel, but wasn’t sure if I was just being petty about it and better the devil you know so to speak?

No cardboard boxes I’m afraid, just a serious question about jobs. To quote my dad would you rather be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond?

Basically I have been in my job for 16 years and have worked my arse off going above and beyond what’s required all the time because the ...

I may have missed it earlier in the thread but has anyone been watching manifest?
