Thank all, I spend maybe €500 a year on my current car but it is starting to cause problems and I can see that going up. I could handle€1000 per year but not much more than that and I don't mind if it is on a good car. We have never had a nice car so now is the time I think to do it. Thats...

I really like the BMW 2 series 7 seater car, its alright paying a fair price for the car but I hear if anything goes wrong with any BMW, it can be costly to repair. Is this true, while I don't mind a certain amount of expense I don't want to regret buying the car also. Years ago I got a...

Its not a personal thing but both executors are exceptionally useless and unreasonable in doing their duty, one of them could be classed as a vulnerable adult if I'm honest, the other is just uncaring about resolving this. 2 siblings are days away from being homeless and need the finances to...

Definitely not put into the will but yes, ownership would be difficult and a waste of actual money to prove, the emotional stuff wasn't meant to be there but it was to show that he had ample time to find out and encouraged by me but yes, it was really up to Mum to tell him and not have this mess.

I Good question, the estate would be in total 400k (including house sale which was transferred in our names while parents were alive and sold as Dad was coming to live with me, that is a whole other story and we all got our fair share of house sale) then cash assets approx 100k between 5. Yes...

I got a text from HSE to say I was close contact, I know for a fact that I couldn't have been because I was literally home for three solid days with kids and no visitors!!! are they hunting for cases or what??

Sorry, I read it wrong, when I brought to my house for safekeeping, I didn't own it and kept the invoice with it to be sure my parents were owners. When they made the will (it was changed due to the sudden death of a sibling) she was showing me the will and that is when she said she was giving...

It didn't belong to me, it was kept at my house with the original invoice in their names so I had it but didn't own it.

Absolutely certain. When my Mum showed me the will of her own violation, it was clearly stated equal distribution, and this is when she told me about the conversation with the solicitor who asked about the valuable asset and she said 'thats with my daughter (I minded stuff like this for her...

My mother died 4 years ago and my father died last year. Assets straight forward just cash in banks (house was dealt with before they died). Two brothers are executors, one has bad blood with me and the others are all fine. My siblings and I took care of both my parents in every way...

Hi, after a car accident we need a second family car. I already have a a 7 seater good mileage and I'm a sahm so I'll be doing the family driving. We need a car for him with 4/5 seats but a large boot that can carry large items. He does a small home repair business fixing bicycles. He is...

Husband had an accident last night due to the thick fog, he drove onto a main road and hit the tail of a passing car. Thankfully no one in either vehicle was hurt. Husband was slowing down as he knew he was approaching the t junction. No one needed Medical attention. Guards called and both cars...

Finally a fair comment. I'd be peeved too, not enough to go legal but I wouldn't like it.

Is mothers salary inclusive of 750 pm maintenance? Are you divorced? Main asset of the house, is it still in your name or both? I'm not an expert but what I do know is 1200pm on food is ludicrous. Don't go in all hard nosed, go for mediation and see what arrangements you can come to. You...

Yes, we closed our business due to this and a greedy landlord. Now both husband and I are on social welfare, just got the medical card and we are both signed up to do retraining skills courses over the coming months. How much is that costing the taxpayer? loss of vat on products and services...

Thanks. The particulars above are for my Dad and I'm just tidying up little accounts here and there. He has dementia and would in no way be able to do this. I'm not executor but they are happy to leave me to the donkey work. Ah sure I'll post the stuff into the banks you mention and see how...

My mother died last Sept, going through some paperwork trying to sort through it. I came across a couple of dockets for WW shares (1300)from the 90's. My mother was very un organised and I can't tell what became of them. She was convince up until she died that she had 80 Smurfitt shares and...

Financial history is very good. Never missed payments. No outstanding debts, excessive spending etc.... but here is the big but We are on social welfare as of this week. If we got this switched I could defo manage the new payments, I am a genius at making ends meet and some more but on paper...

Hi, story so far Original mortgage for €130k in 2002 for 25 years. We are down to our last 9 years with a prepay of €5,600 in credit. Balance left is €49000. at 4.5%, €702pm dd. Just see googled calculators for switching to 3.7% variable in UB For 9 years term left it comes back at €419 pm if...

I am not sure about reservation on title but I'm sure that is standard. At first they wanted to charge a fee for taking back the stock and then asked if they were boxed and then refused, its not specialised stock either and would have no trouble moving it on. They are being awkward and hostile...
