My mother died last November. In her will she appointed two Executors - my brother and a friend of her's who is a retired solicitor. The latter insisted we instructed solicitors, but the costs are spiralling out of control. The Executors are due to sign the oath of Probate next Monday 14th March. Can we (or technically my brother) dispense with the services of a solicitor? The other Executor (who is actually doing nothing) won't want him to but we're finding it too expensive and also we feel a bit out of control.

Hi All My circs have recently changed (separation, loss of job, with dependants) And after one thing and another amd in a mess debt wise, Am n the process of sorting it, have agreed very reduced token payments with a couple of debtors. However, one of them (Next Directory), has now instructed Solicitors, and I have CCJ papers. My query is, I remember ages ago, sending them a letter (as advised by CCCS) requesting copy of signed agreement. They never sent me one, just some letter about how I am still legally obliged to pay. Looking on this site today (which is FANTASTIC by the way), it appears that I could have refused to pay/agreed to pay less????? I need to send these letters back today/tomorrow as due by 24th So any advice would be gratefully received Thanks

Hi, I have tried to DSAR a firm of solicitors icw with a mortgaged property repossession, as I am trying to get hold of court papers from 1999 - I've been direct to the court, but they told me that they do not hold the paperwork for more than 5 years. I have written to the solicitors and sent them the cheque etc., but they have replied as follows: The request you have made to access any personal date that we may hold on you refers to personal data that we hold on behalf of our client ***. Therefore your request for a copy of the data should be addressed direct to *** as data controllers. Is this correct? When I DSARd the band direct a couple of years ago they did not provide any information from the solicitors, despite my asking them. If I can DSAR them direct - what arguement do I go back with? Jody

I'm not sure if anyone will know this but you never know! I heard recently that someone had done a check on me. The key points are I was left some money in a will a few months ago and the check that was done found this out due to my dealing with the solicitor. I thought all dealings with solicitors were confidential so was a bit surprised it appeared to be public avaialable even to the amount of money I had inherited. Other things were details of my parents and things I guess are on the electoral register which I guess are public available. The person who did the search was a barrister. Basically the barristers son likes my girlfriend and I guess was hoping to find something to put her off me. I am basically wondering if there is anything I can do as it seems an abuse of position, if nothing else to be able to invade my privacy like this. Does anyone know what search this is that was done and any rules around this? Thanks.
