What happens if there is no will?
The estate will usually be administered under the rules of intestacy, and an eligible family member may apply for Letters of Administration.
What happens if the tenant refuses to leave after an eviction notice?
If the tenant does not vacate, you will need to apply for a possession order. If they still do not leave, enforcement through bailiffs may be required.
What happens if the order is breached?
Breaching a Non-Molestation Order is a criminal offence. The police may become involved and the respondent may face arrest, prosecution or further court action.
What happens if the estate has debts?
Outstanding debts must normally be settled before the remaining estate can be distributed to beneficiaries.
What happens if someone breaches an order?
The court has powers to enforce Child Arrangements Orders and may impose further directions or penalties.
What happens if my visa expires before a decision is made?
Provided a valid application was submitted before your existing permission expired, your immigration status is generally protected while your application is being considered.
What happens if my employer does not follow the ACAS Code during a disciplinary process?
If an Employment Tribunal later finds that your employer unreasonably failed to follow the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, it can increase any compensation awarded by up to 25%.
What happens if my company is involved in a corporate merger or takeover?
Business ownership changes may affect your Sponsor Licence. You must notify the Home Office and ensure compliance with corporate immigration rules, which we can help navigate.
What happens if my case becomes more complicated?
If additional work becomes necessary, we will discuss this with you and explain any revised costs before proceeding.
What happens if my application is refused?
The next steps depend on the reasons for refusal. In some cases, it may be possible to submit a fresh application, request an administrative review or pursue an appeal where available.
