Can you legally get married in the UK and not tell anyone? By anyone - I mean ANYONE, family, friends, employers, the state, 'official' people. I know you're wondering why. The main reason being that we don't want anyone to know as it would cause a lot of family problems, arguments etc (we're not cousins by the way!) But I…

I don't have a partner or children. I live 250 miles from my nearest family, work from home so find it difficult to make friends with work colleagues who often live equally far away.

Hi, my mum has passed away and I am her only surviving child. Having spoken to a clerk in the sheriff court office I believe I need to draft a letter to the court to be appointed as an executor of her estate.

Wondering if it’s worth doing ‘health and welfare’ as well as ‘property and finance’. We are only mid fifties and work in health and not sure if it’s worth the extra costs. All…
