Welcome to our 22nd issue of Lindsays Life, now in a refreshed digital format for 2022.
For many of us, the easing of the last Covid-19 restrictions – including simpler rules for travel abroad and the end of compulsory masks – makes this spring a memorable one. There’s a definite feel of renewal in the air.
With this in mind, many of our articles this issue have a theme of new beginnings and coming back stronger (even after setbacks).
For those entering a new relationship phase, our article on cohabitation agreements and pre-nups is essential reading. We also have articles on how to manage change, with suggestions on how to aim for a “good divorce”, and how blended families can navigate inheritance issues.
For anyone who’s had the misfortune to go through a personal injury (PI) case, we have information on the use of PI trusts to support your financial planning post-injury.
There’s an article on how you could use your digital skills to help charities come back stronger after Covid-19, and our Rural team describe how they’re supporting the Argyll Estate restore some of the Charters in their archives, some of them over 700 years old.
Plus, we have new rules for employers on pay and other matters; ideas for anyone setting up a company (or looking to protect their current one); and the latest news on the resurgent residential property market in Scotland.
Last but not least, we have a blog from our sponsored athlete Eilish McColgan on how she’s restoring herself to fitness post- Covid.
As ever, it’s a wide-ranging set of articles, and we hope you will find it useful and interesting as you emerge from the challenges of the past 2 years.
