How long is probate taking for a simple estate at the moment?
My solicitor is just about to actually apply for probate after receiving my Mother's funeral cost details. All other documents sorted and a fairly simple estate of one property (owned outright) and one bank account. No other debts. I am the sole executor and beneficiary. Thanks in advance.
Buildings insurance repudiation letter - this is ambiguous isn't it..?
Our retaining garden wall crashed down in torrential rain during a named storm earlier this year. Just had the insurance company's repudiation letter via their Loss Adjusters - notice the 'appears that the damage has occurred...' line. Surely that's ambiguous and unclear? Worthwhile challenging?
Changed Ebay password, now can't use sniper!
Hi all - I've just changed my EBay password and tried to change it on Goof bid too but Goof bid won't let me sign in even through the random password they sent me. I don't where I am with it now - I can sign in to EBay fine. Sorry about typos etc. I'm on a new tablet :-)
Ebay glitch? Photos not displaying....
Just today whilst I've been browsing, I can no longer click on and display the additional pics within listings. Is it me? :o
Help please? Mother's pension from USA?
I don't know where to start; we're 'up against' the US Federal Benefits Unit on this one. :( To keep it simple, my late father was drawing a small pension from the US - he worked there for around 4 years in the 1960's. On his death 18 months ago, Mum was contacted by the FBU saying she was entitled to this pension as a…
Seller 'pulls' item before end of auction.
Twice in the last couple of months I've been watching Ebay items with a view to bid........and the seller suddenly ends the auction with a couple of days to go. :mad: Both items were pick up only, and the last one even had a bid on it. It's pretty obvious that the sellers must have had offers they couldn't refuse and sold…
Help! Simple way to reduce jpeg size?
I've got 5 or 6 photos in a file that I need to attach to an email............considering that I still have trouble with the bloomin' TV remote, can any kind person tell me in words of one syllable how to do it? :o
Anyone know if Hermes deliver on bank holidays?
Ebay seller sent my parcel with Hermes last Thursday and it's current tracking status is showing as 'hub trailer via sorter' - can anyone translate? :D From what I've read about Hermes it may be some time away yet.......:(
Recieving a bank transfer from USA company?
I'm about to sell an antique painting to a gallery in the US and just wondered how safe a bank transfer payment from them to my current account would be?
Ebay search terms not working - is it me?!
For the past week or so I can't refine my Ebay searches; the sections where you can choose new/used/UK only etc. just don't work when I click on them. Any ideas? I know Ebay is constantly faffing around with, er sorry improving (;)) the site so could it be a glitch?
Slow post - anyone else?
In the last week or so I've had one eBay item arrive 6 days after being posted first class and one I'm still waiting for after 8 days - again first class. Our post is normally very quick; surely the Christmas rush hasn't started already? :(
Help! Perfect roast beef - timings?
We've just been given a beautiful joint of beef (don't know what 'cut') weighing exactly 5lb...........how long should I actually cook it for to be medium/well done? There are so many conflicting timings out there and I can burn salad given half a chance, so apologies for sounding thick. :)
U-turns on narrow lane - legal?
My house fronts on to the verge of a narrow country lane leading to next door's farm and I'm having problems with drivers almost hitting the house when they attempt to u-turn; one yesterday literally came within an inch of my front wall. There is a layby/turning point further along the lane by the entrance to the farm and…
'Spray on' hair dye - does it exist?
Hi folks, Might be a daft question.........! I have dark red hair with annoying 'greys' at the temples and I'm getting hacked off with how often I have to dye the wretched things as the colour doesn't take as well on grey and fades so quickly. Does a non-permanent dye spray actually exist so I could just touch up the greys…
