Do you receive rental income on a jointly owned property?  

If so, it is worth considering the income tax implications of this if you have not done so already.

We routinely prepare Declarations of Trust for joint owners of property who are in receipt of a rental income, but who split this income in different proportions between themselves. 

Neves Solicitors are expanding the specialist Private Client team with the appointment of Associate, Josie Birnie, who will be based at the Harpenden office.

Josie qualified as a solicitor in 2003 and specialises in Private Client matters. Since qualifying, she has acquired a wealth of experience in areas such as Wills, Estate Planning, Probate and Estate Administration, Powers of Attorney and Trusts.

In previous years, many scams have involved debit and credit cards being used to commit fraud but scammers are increasingly focusing their activity on authorised push payment fraud, also known as payment diversion fraud.

Criminals are actively targeting property purchases, with the aim of tricking you into transferring them your house deposit and/or the balance of purchase monies to them.

As a business owner, it is vital for you to consider what might happen to your business if you were not able to make decisions due to:

  • lack of mental capacity, an illness, an injury or a medical condition that means that you may no longer have the capacity to act
  • an accident that might make you temporally unable to make decisions and run the business
  • or, if you are not able to sign the paperwork due to spending a lot of time abroad.
