Welcome to our 24th issue of Lindsays Life, using our digital format for 2023.
For many of us spring and early summer is a favourite time of year. It’s not just about enjoying warmer weather and longer days, it’s also about renewed energy, growth and reaching for the skies!
We’ve done that ourselves at Lindsays in a number of ways, which you can read about in this issue. One very significant development is our merger with legal practice Miller Hendry, meaning we now have our first offices in Perth and Crieff and an expanded team in Dundee.
You can also read about our latest promotions, demonstrating in practice our belief in supporting our people to grow and develop. By investing in the firm, and backing talent and skills, we make sure to serve our clients even better, and we’ll do that throughout this year and beyond.
We offer advice for those planning a house move (or helping younger relations to do so), handling disputes with neighbours, issues around getting people’s names right in Wills and Powers of Attorney, and how to avoid inheritance tax clawbacks.
We’ve also debunked some common family law myths, and covered 2023/24 updates for employers, tips for charities and separating couples on handling the cost of living crisis, e-scooters, and natural capital and changing land use – to name just a few. As I said, it’s a wide mix, and we hope you enjoy it!
We very much hope this issue of lindsays life helps you plan for you and your loved ones in 2023.
