Elderly person's capacity
My mother wishes to sell her house and move in with my sister. My mother is forgetful and confused sometimes, but she totally understands the need to sell the house and she totally trusts my sister and me. However, our family solicitor is being very difficult and insisting on a letter from her GP to confirm that my mother has the necessary capacity to instruct him. This seems to be going far too far. Is it really necessary?

A harmless gift or a bribe?
I am an estate agent and every Christmas I have enjoyed the odd case of wine from local solicitors to whom I have passed clients over the year. This year one of them told me that I wouldn’t be getting any wine this Christmas due to the
new Bribery Act. Please tell me that he was joking?
