Questions

My parents have made a will appointing myself and my brother executors. My brother and I fell out 13 years ago, and my brother hasn’’t spoken to my parents for the last eight years. Surely the solicitor who drew up the will shouldn’’t have allowed them to do this?

Thirty years ago my brother and I were in business together and bought two pieces of land. I built a bungalow on the smaller plot and the plan was for my brother to build on part of the other plot, with us sharing the remainder. I have now suggested we divide up the land as originally intended, but my brother refuses. What’’s my position?

My father left his money to me and my four brothers and sisters but I was seriously ill at the time, and they altered the will so that I now only receive the interest on the money and cannot touch the capital. My brothers and sisters are no longer alive, do I have a right to this money?

In December I tripped on a pavement and broke my glasses. I had two black eyes, but now my solicitors tell me that because the pavement wasn’’t uneven by more than an inch I can’’t claim compensation. The council has since re-laid the flagstones where I fell.

I arrange visits to gardens and houses for members of our local gardening club. The owners of some properties charge for these visits, others don’’t. It has recently been suggested that we could be held liable for accidental damage to the properties or for injury to any member of the club who for instance tripped over a raised flagstone. Should we take out insurance?

We ordered two two-seater settees to be made after seeing a three-seater version in a showroom. A month after they arrived the arms on one of them were coming loose and the manufacturing quality was much poorer than the suite in the showroom. That settee has gone back for repairs, but the second settee is now as bad: can I demand my money back?

I took out a loan for £70,000 in 2006 through a broker, I was told it was linked to the Bank of England rate, but it turned out not to be, and my broker has given me a refund for not advising me properly. Can I pursue this further with the broker or the lender, since my loan rate has only ever increased and never come down.

My husband had nothing when I married him, but while we were together he received a redundancy payment and windfall shares. He will also be able to draw from his pension plan next year. Now we are getting divorced he has stripped the home of everything we bought and I’’ve been told I’’ve no claim on anything because we weren’’t married very long.
