Does Adultery Affect The Size Of My Divorce Settlement?

Adultery does not affect your divorce settlement in England and Wales. The law allows no-fault divorce, so the court will not consider who cheated on whom. The financial settlement will depend on other factors, such as the needs and resources of both parties, the length of the marriage, the standard of living, and the welfare of any children. You should consult a family law solicitor for advice on how to get a fair and reasonable financial settlement.

Is A Handwritten, Handcrafted Will Valid?

In estate planning, the validity of handwritten wills, or "holographic wills," is often debated. While they can be legally binding, requirements vary by jurisdiction. Generally, the entire document must be handwritten and signed by the testator. Some areas require witnesses, and clarity of language is crucial. Consulting an estate planning attorney ensures legal validity and clarity in documenting final wishes.
