My mother recently died and the will was drawn up by a solicitor who has overcharged my mother in the past for simple work I could have done. Now I see in the will they are nominated (by mother) to...
My mother had 2 Long Lasting Power of Attorney's drawn up, one financial, one health. They are both nearly identical forms with about 5 boxes to fill in. Not knowing what it might cost she agreed to...
When I was a boy in the mid-late 50's my parents used to holiday here every year. I would like to take my mother back there but cannot find where it used to be or if it's changed its name. There's a...
I have a conviction for "Conspiracy to utter and import counterfeit coins" from 1976 with 3 years imprisonment. Would be grateful for any informal advice about whether I would get a visa. It falls...
I have a criminal conviction when I was young from 1974 (4 years imprisonment). Does that make me ineligible for a USA holiday visa, does anyone know? Is it obligatory to declare it? Thanks, David....

When you bid in an auction, it is often the case that you don't want to bid the next 'increment' ( £10 or £20 for instance) and the auctioneer won't accept a inbetween bid. I seem to...
