CLIENT ALERT!!

HAVE YOU BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE WILL ?

Recent changes to legislation have increased the range of persons who can apply to be included as beneficiaries - and have widened the basis on which a claim can be made. Why not email some details to us and let us give you preliminary advice free of charge. It is important to act quickly, as in general claims must be made within six months of a Grant of Probate of the will. For more information please refer to our Testamentary Trusts article.

SIGNING A BUILDING CONTRACT ?

your Building Contract may be the largest investment of time and money you ever make. It would be wise to check carefully that it is fair and reasonable and that your rights are fully protected before signing it. Wainwright Ryan Eid would be pleased to help and can do so either personally or online.

HAVE YOU BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND LOST THE USE OF YOUR VEHICLE ?

If so, you may have made a claim for the cost of a hire car. Most insurance companies adopt the position that unless you can prove that there was no other reasonable means of transport and that you had a necessity to hire of motor vehicle in order to earn your income then they are not liable to make reimbursement to you for this cost. This is not the law. If you are deprived of the use of your motor vehicle as a result of an accident caused by another party's fault then you are entitled to the cost of hire of an alternative vehicle. It is in the interest of insurance companies to perpetuate the myth that the vehicle must be necessary for your employment before the insurer would become liable to you. The use to which the vehicle is put is not relevant to your right to make a claim for the cost of a hire vehicle whilst your vehicle is being repaired. If you require further assistance on this, please be in touch with Wainwright Ryan Eid either directly or online.

YOUR WILL

Appointment of executor. When making their Will most people have no trouble selecting a suitable executor be it their husband, wife, children, a close relative or the like. Some people for various reasons however need to select an executor from outside of this range of people. The partners of Wainwright Ryan are prepared to act as executors on behalf of people in such circumstances. Charges for administration of the estate will be made only on a fee for service basis and, unlike trustee companies, no charge will be made for executors commission which is a percentage of the value of the estate. Charges made on a fee for service basis will often be much less expensive than charges which reflect a percentage of the total value of the estate. If your Will nominates the partners of this firm as your executors then no charge will be made for the preparation of the Will. If you would like your Will prepared and forwarded to you on this basis free of charge, please click here to complete will instructions online or download and send/fax to us.
