Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Hi @Bunniekins Thanks for the hello.

How did you know that I was about (I hadn't posted anything)?

No, you're not old. You're a Spring Chicken (pea), aren't you?

Oh, the witching hour @Bunniekins That sounds scary...

A tough day (it's been), trying to get some free (or subsidised) legal advice -

Re: Mum's broken promise to equally distribute the proceeds of Dad's estate.

Legal Aid said they don't assist with wills or estates.

Citizens Avice Bureau said they don't have any lawyers available.

It's a stalemate, & I urgently need legal advice.

@Adge

Someone I know was able to get some advive on a no win no fee basis regarding a disputed will. It was with someone she had previously worked with but worth investigating?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes, my Psychologist wants me to get legal avice (representation), so does my friend.

No-one in WA had any suggestions as to where to get it though.

There was only a very short time-frame available, since Dad's house was sold almost 2 weeks ago.

Full settlement is in 4 week's time - that when the 5 of us (siblings) get walked all-over (like Doormats).

Because Mum now intends to bank the entire amount (for herself).

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Was there an agreement that was put in a legally binding document @Adge? Otherwise you may be out of luck.

I was done over really badly by my ex husband. Lent his business a heap of money ( a gift from my mother to each of her kids) but stupidly, I trusted him when he said it would be paid back. As I didn't have any documentation drawn up, I didn't have a leg to stand on unfortunately.

I'm so sorry to hear that @soul That's not fair to you...

No there's no legal document.
Mum would never put her guarantees in writing - because then she would have to honour them.
