“The huge difference one meeting can make in taking a lot of stress and worry off a client’s shoulders. Even just discussing their options, without actually putting anything in place, can have a huge effect in relieving worries that have often been hanging over them for a long time.

I also really enjoy the varied workload, working cross-departmentally with colleagues, and meeting clients and professionals within the community.”

“People often assume that if they don’t make a Will, their estate automatically passes entirely to their spouse. That often isn’t the case, as who benefits is governed by the intestacy rules. Depending on their family circumstances and the size of their estate, their spouse may not be the only beneficiary. This can often lead to a great deal of stress for those left behind.”

“I really enjoy problem-solving — standing back and seeing the bigger picture and the end goal, then zooming in to identify the steps needed to get there, as well as spotting potential pitfalls along the way. In addition, it’s great to always be learning!”

Protect your future wishes ✨

During Dementia Action Week, it’s an important reminder to consider legal planning for the future while you’re still able to make clear decisions.

One of the most helpful steps you can take is putting a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place. This allows someone you trust to make decisions about your health, welfare, or finances if you’re no longer able to do so yourself.

Having an LPA in place early can help avoid uncertainty and ensure your wishes are respected, while also reducing pressure on family members at a difficult time.

Planning ahead can make a real difference later on.

Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work 🦺

For farms and rural businesses, safety comes with unique challenges - and it’s a key legal responsibility for every employer.

Here are a few areas worth keeping in check:

🚜 Machinery and equipment: Regular maintenance and proper training are essential when working with tractors and farm machinery.

🐄 Livestock handling: Animals can be unpredictable - clear procedures and experience are vital to reduce risk.

📱 Lone working: Many roles in agriculture involve working alone. Having check-ins and safety measures in place is crucial.

⚠️ Yard and land hazards: Uneven ground, slurry pits, and moving vehicles all pose risks that should be actively managed.

📋 Risk assessments: They should reflect the real, day-to-day working environment - not just paperwork.

Taking a proactive approach to health and safety helps protect your team, your family, and your livelihood.

If you’d like advice on your responsibilities as a rural employer, we’re here to help.
