Download or read book A Practical Guide to Divorce and Farming in Scotland written by Lucia Clark and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the particular legal and practical problems arising from farming divorce in Scotland. Topics covered include the tricky issues of whether the farm business and the farmland fall within the definition of "matrimonial property" or not; the nuances of partnership law and consideration of Scottish case law on farming partnerships; and the particular way in which arguments for unequal sharing often arise in farming cases, whether due to source of funds, economic disadvantage or lack of resources. Intended as a practical guide, there are suggestions for information gathering at the first meeting; instruction of specialist valuers; and a summary of unique assets to farm businesses. The book also considers the impact of inter-generational dynamics on farming divorce, and when preventative measures such as pre-nuptial or partnership agreements might be useful. The book is aimed primarily towards Scottish family law practitioners, but is also likely to be of interest to farming advisers and farm accountants, who either find themselves with divorcing clients or who wish to avoid pitfalls for their clients on a future separation.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to Challenging a Will Due to Undue Influence Or Fraudulent Calumny written by Evan Price and published by Law Brief Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every week we read in newspapers and news websites of cases where disappointed beneficiaries are in dispute with others, often members of their own families, about an estate that they expected to benefit from. These challenges often include claims that the person who does receive the benefit from the estate 'unduly influenced' the deceased or that they poured poison about the disappointed beneficiary into the ear of the deceased - which is what is referred to as fraudulent calumny. A Practical Guide to Challenging a Will Due to Undue Influence or Fraudulent Calumny explains what 'undue influence' and what 'fraudulent calumny' are and sets out the framework for challenges to wills where there is such a claim. It also guides the reader through some of the practical issues and difficulties that any disappointed beneficiary may face when making such challenges. These claims are difficult to pursue as they are treated by the courts as being similar to a fraud claim and the guide will be an essential tool for anyone contemplating making or defending such a challenge to a will (whether a lawyer, other professional person, or a beneficiary). ABOUT THE AUTHOR Evan Price is a barrister with over 20 years' experience of disputes involving property, wills, trusts and estates. He practices from Ten Old Square in Lincoln's Inn and is a member of the STEP (the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners). He is regularly instructed to assist clients to resolve matters involving broad and knotty issues that require urgent assistance.

Download or read book Albion s Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
