I am helping my mother with my father’s probate, seeking "Administration with Will Annexed", as Mum doesn't feel able for this job. She is the single executor and sole beneficiary.
We did visit my parents' solicitor after Dad died, and she was really helpful. Having talked through the various...
Thanks all for your inputs.
Selling does seem like the best option overall.
Along with encouragement to use the money to make improvements that will assist him remaining in his own home. He has lived alone for almost 50 years in an isolated area, is used to being totally independent, and is...
Thanks, I will raise that with him. If he does sell, he would more than likely use the same solicitor, so that bit should be relatively simple if it is needed. He has an enduring POA in place as well, with myself as one of two relatives nominated to be POA if required.
I will check about the...
Thanks for all the replies.
When he initially purchased the house to rent it, it was definitely an interest and gave him a focus, and got him out and about etc.
Now, with being older & slowed up, and with some health concerns compounded by Covid worries & isolation, it is no longer providing...
Gentleman is 86 years old. Never married, and has no children.
I don't have a figure for his income, but I don't think he has any monetary concerns, lives a low cost lifestyle, and would have no debts.
He has one other rental property, with "low maintenance" long term tenants who benefit by...
Hi,
What financial/other criteria should be applied when considering this question?
The gentleman has owned the property (3 bed semi-detached, in provincial town) for many years.
There is no mortgage on the property.
The rent has been below market value for quite some time.
The property is...
Hi,
I was wondering if there is an expected timeline for doing this, if somebody could advise.
It concerns a married couple, where the husband has recently died.
The wife required a new PPSN to be created, as she was previously working from a "W" number, which will be retired now that her...
Thank you both for your replies.
It is about 10 weeks since the last payment, so if she had changed her mind I think she could still act - but thank you for pointing this out.
Similar to your father's situation Monbretia, the husband was treated in the public system for the last week of his...
Hi,
I am looking for some advice on behalf of an elderly lady regrading private health insurance.
Her husband was in a nursing home and has recently died. He was adamant about having a good health plan in place for both of them.
Since his death, the policy has lapsed as it was in his name. VHI...
Hi,
Was there a response to this question please?
The Med 1 form has been replaced by "myAccount" and the formatting rules won't allow both PPS numbers be entered.
Advice would be much appreciated.
thank you.
Hi,
Is this something that needs to be brought to the attention of the home insurance company?
Joint proposer is husband & wife, and they own the house.
The husband needs to be in a nursing home unfortunately. The house is occupied by the wife, so would the insurance company be concerned about...
Hi
Can somebody please advise if a cheque issued as follows:
Pay to "JANE BLOGGS
AS ATTORNEY FOR
MARY SMITH"
can be paid into Mary Smith's bank account (for which the power of attorney information has been supplied to the bank).
I was hoping to be able to lodge the...
Hi,
Do the "max agreed" prices as per the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) imply that this the maximum price that can be charged to a resident that enters a nursing home under the Fairdeal scheme?
A contract of care that I am currently reading states that the fees may be reviewed where...
Hi.
My company covers all employees under the "Laya Simply Connect Plus" policy; they pay 100% cost for employees and optionally 50% cost for dependents. There is no option to change to a different policy.
I have availed of this option for myself and 3 children (ages 6, and 3 year old twins)...
