This guidance appliesto the situation wheresomeone has diedleaving a Will. If yourloved one has notmade a Will you mightlike to see ourguidance note; Deathwithout a Will:Guidance to assist

those who administer the estate available atwww.lakeslegallimited.co.uk

The loss of a loved one is one of the most difficulttimes of life for those left behind. It can be a verydifficult and confusing time. Talking about deathand what we would like to happen to our assetsonce we are no longer here is not a commonsubject of conversation. Leaving a Will can easethe burden placed on those left behind as the Willsets out exactly what the deceased would like tohappen to their assets on their death.

When someone dies leaving a Will their assets(known as their estate) are administered inaccordance with the instructions left in their will.

The Starting PointOnce all reasonable steps have been taken toconfirm that the Will which has been found is themost recent up to date version the deceasedcreated it is time to ascertain that it is legallyvalid. Particular vigilance should be used whendealing with a home made Will as there arecertain legal requirements which must befollowed when making a Will to make it legallybinding.

The persons who administer the estate ofsomeone who died leaving a Will are calledExecutors.

First those appointed as Executors shouldconsider whether they would like to be involvedin the administration or not. Just becausesomeone is appointed does not mean that theyhave to fulfil that role. Appointed Executors can

Death with a Will: A guideL a k e s L e g a l L i m i t e d

Hannah Elizabeth Bell LLB DirectorPhoto: Powder & Paint Photography

renounce their appointment or take a ‘back seat’in the administration if they do not feel able totake on the role of executor.

The role of the executor is wide and varied butessentially they have five key roles:

1. To collect in and account for all of the deceaseds assets.

2. To complete a tax return for HM Revenue and Customs.

3. To apply to the Probate Registry for the formal authority to administer the deceased’s estate. This is called applying fora Grant of Probate when the deceased left aWill. This document is needed to realise mostof the deceased’s assets. There are legal rules which govern this application process.

4. To pay any debts or taxes due (Including Inheritance Tax) on the death of the deceased from estate funds.

5. To distribute the estate monies amongst those entitled to benefit.

How to Proceed… To be continued next month

Are you Psychic?ore and more people are realisingthere is more to this life that what wecan see and are experiencing strange

goings on, asking questions and wondering whatit is all about.

Maybe you are noticing sparkly lights out thecorners of your eyes, seeing shadows, getting astrong smell such as perfume or tobacco orhearing someone calling your name but no oneis there?

Or maybe you always know who is calling –before looking at the caller display! Or, youthink of someone then bump in to them. Theseare all psychic skills.

There are so many signs that indicate spiritualawakening maybe happening for you such as:

• Changing sleep pattern, waking up two or three times a night.• Food intolerances.• Seeing auras around people, plants, animals,and objects. • Getting a buzz or ringing in your ear.• Vivid dreams with messages in them.• A great desire to break free from life-draining jobs or people.• After years of being happy and content with the same job, house or partner, feeling it is not enough and wanting to leave, change your life and be free, creative and be who you really are.• Hands tingling and getting very warm.• Noticing synchronicities.• Wanting to discover the reason you are on the earth for.

These signs have been coming to light in my one to one readings I do in my studio inWindermere and via Skype and Phone, so I know this is happening for so many. My PsychicParties are a great fun way of realising what is going on for you.

At a Psychic Party we start by playing some “psychic games” things like Psychic Pass the Parcel,Eye Spy with my Clairvoyant Eye, Human Pendulum and some telepathy games.

Amanda “The Angel Mystic”As seen on TV

M



We use dowsing rods and pendulums so you can really try what works for you and whatdoesn’t, as you may have more Clairvoyant skills by that I mean being able to see things eitherwith your own eyes or using your third eye. Or maybe you have a gift of claircognizance whichmeans you just know something, even if you don’t know how. If this is the case you areprobably always saying “I knew that wouldhappen”. After the games I do the one to one readingsand whilst the rest of the party are playingwith cards and some others games. Theseparties are certainly a fun night filled withdiscovery about you and have been goingdown a storm. Even The Sun Newspaper hadone and ran an article on them.

So if you want your own all you need isbetween 5 and 10 people and they cost just£25 per person. For more details of theparties and my other work please go towww.theangelmystic.co.uk

Amanda has recently launched a homelearning program, that are done via calling inor logging in via internet to a teleseminar call.So more people can learn about Spiritualmatters from the comfort of their own home.

The first one is Manifesting with Your Angels,but there will be more to come coveringAngel Awareness and Spiritual Development.

VENUE DRESSING


My aim in life was always to be a hairdresser, a greathairdresser! Not just one who does shampoo and sets andworks on old ladies, but one with vision and imagination toturn average looking ladies & men, into amazing ones! I gotthe best training I could get, worked in the best salons, untilI bought my own, and this has always been what I do, untilrecently..... Back 5 years ago now having a room above mysalon for something, I decided not to just throw anotherbeautician at it, as the ones I have are great! A client told meshe was going to hire a hat for a wedding, this started a very

expensive and exclusive hobby! Finding a millinerwhose work I admired took a long time, but I didfind Eleda Hats in the end, I just wanted exclusivehats in my room, hats that you admire from afarbecause of the price tags!! But if I were going tohire hats out they had to be the best! So Ladiescan hire a £500 hat out for a fraction of the price!Why shouldn’t we have amazing hats in Barrow??This then was the beginning of people who didn’twant to wear a hat asking for fascinators to bemade to match their outfits, and as the businessgrew so did my interest in making them..... A longway, but the only way to learn how to be a real

couture milliner at the time wasin the Cotswalds! So i wentdown each month for a year togain my City and Guilds inMillinery, I qualified in 2011 andfrom then on have fallen in lovewith making hats, I make hatsmost days in-between doinghair! I have the best job in theworld.... I make hats to suit eachindividual client, to their ownhead size, body shape, heightand personality, I have alwaysdone hair this way, so it is I feela natural progression!

Despite the abundance of advice available on what to wear forweddings by way of the internet and magazines, most peoplestruggle not to have a wardrobe dilemma. Weddings don’t comealong every other weekend so we are generally out of practiceand typically while you wait for years for a wedding invitation,more often than not you will receive 3 all at once.

A wedding is a splendid opportunity to dance, drink and dineall of which require an outfit with the right balance betweencomfort and formality. In the right outfit you can not only enjoywhat can be a long but wonderful celebration but also beassured of looking fabulous forever in the photo album.

Here are some style tips to navigate the elusive semiformal wedding dress etiquette.

1. The outdoor country wedding calls for a pretty dress withjacket or cardigan. Wedges are preferable to heels so you don’tget stuck in the mud on your way to the marquee. A hat is rarelyobligatory but it’s a great excuse to wear one and it really canmake your outfit. madhatterscumbria.co.uk or call 012229869887 to arrange a fitting. They will tailor any hat to your outfitand rent it to you for the day.

2. Trouser suits are big fashion news this season and make agreat investment for years after the vows have been exchanged.A trouser suit would be suitable at any wedding especially amore casual on at a registry office.

3. When you need to attend consecutive weddings with thesame crowd or you want to change your outfit from day tonight at the same wedding you will need some multitaskinggarments. Try using a skirt as a dress to alternate your look.

4. The Beach Wedding: Hurrah if you are invited to a beachwedding! Who cares what you wear as you are guaranteedsunshine and can save money on shoes by going barefoot.Furthermore, if you make a sartorial mistake at a beach weddingyou can drown your sorrows in factor 30 and margaritas!

5. Traditional church wedding: They say you should avoid blackto a wedding and its best not to wear white but I can’t see whyyou can’t wear both together and back one of the biggestfashion stories of the season.

6. The Vegas Wedding: At last a wedding where you can beexpected to make a statement, all the rules are out the window,short skirts, look at me prints, outlandish accessories, you’ll bethe odd one out if you don’t!
