Thanks - I did enquire about credited contributions but since I wasn't looking for full time work I reckoned I wasn't entitled to jobseeker's benefit or credited contributions.

Background: Currently 61. Retired early from public sector with actuarially reduced pension and 25 years of D contributions. Since then have worked in private sector on and off and paid about 8 years of class A stamps. Since then I have been living on public sector pension. This year I have...

This proposal by the Law Reform Commission to delete the parents "moral duty" to make provision for adult children in their will appears on the face of it to be reasonable but the exceptions are a minefield especially the last two...

To give any meaningful answer you would need to quote the terms of the will.

My tuppence..... Had a memory foam mattress......mixed feelings but they are NOT suitable for women of a certain age! Sooo hot. Ikea is a problem with beds/bed linen as their sizes are different. Ended up with a posturepedic mattress last time.

If I was your brother I would move in to exercise my right of residence & using your own logic I would justify it as being just to reflect your father's wishes. I think that would demonstrate how unrealistic & unfair your father's will was and might encourage an agreed solution. There is more...

In my opinion the fair thing here would be for all siblings to agree to sell and divide the proceeds equally. It sounds to me as if your father was badly advised in drawing up the will. Rights of residence are very seldom used nowadays as they create all kinds of ridiculous situations and do not...

On the basis of what you tell us it seems the person is unlikely to repay. Indeed depending on what their background is it could even disincentivise them from earning a living if that was going to trigger repayment. I have had family members who, having been rescued by parental support when the...

Depending on the scale of the estate one executor is much more efficient than multiple executors as in many instances all will have to sign.......so for example if the deceased has 3 or 4 bank accounts/shares etc it could be a real pain. Definitely reserve rather than renounce.......otherwise...

I contacted chrome today for a quote but haven't heard anything back. How long did it take for you to get a response?

Lots of "it depends" on the basis of the post. how is the property owned between the two brothers - joints owners or tenants in common? what was in the deceased brother's will regarding his share (if any) of the property? has the living owner who is of "unsound mind" been made a ward of court...

Will be sorely missed - sad day for those not tainted by vested interest in traditional fashion.

Yes and yes though most people just waited out the 3 months

I worked for an Irish subsidiary of a French company where 3 months was the policy for all staff regardless of seniority. It was enforced, especially for the best workers!!!! Not enforced for useless people they ewanted to get rid of. No amount of negotiation had any impact on changing the clause.

What's the purchase deed fee of 700 euro for?

Yep. Since it is registered title Folio number is all you need.

When I was disposing of family effects including bulky furniture after family members had taken their choices (we rotated) I sent the rest to auction or to a skip. The auctioneer told me I'd barely make the transport costs back at auction - he was quite rude actually and I was glad my poor Mum...

Morbid as it seems you need details of burial instructions and grave if applicable.

Could you explain what your understanding is based on? My reading of the rent a room scheme provisions indicate it applies to airbnb provided you are actually sharing your home with the guest.

To be honest it sounds from what you are implying that any meeting would have been pointless.
