Information, not legal advice

This service gives you information about the law and how it generally applies to a situation like the one you describe. It is a structured starting point for professional advice — something to help you understand where you stand and decide what to do next.

It is not legal advice, and no solicitor reviews your report. We are not acting for you, and using this service does not create the kind of relationship you have with your own solicitor.

Your report describes how the law usually works and what your options generally are. It does not tell you how your situation will end — no one honestly can.

Some situations need a regulated professional. Where yours is one of those, we’ll say so and point you to places that can help, rather than prepare a report we shouldn’t.

If anything in your report matters to a decision you’re making, it’s worth confirming it with a qualified professional before you act.
