Welcome to the Spring 2020 Edition of Viewpoint

on Wednesday, 18 March 2020.

A word of welcome from VWV's Head of Private Client, Michelle Rose, and updates on the team and the wider legal landscape.

Recent changes in the law mean that 2020 will be the first year in which mixed-sex couples can choose to enter a civil partnership as an alternative to getting married. You can read more about one couple’s case which led to this legislative change in this edition.

We also include an article this time on the points attorneys should consider when making gifts on behalf of the person for whom they act.

In January, we were delighted to meet several of our new Inheritance Matters clients at our drinks reception in Birmingham.

For those who have been appointed as an executor under a Will and are unsure of what the role entails, or for those of you who have yet to make a Will and need some guidance on who to appoint, please come along to one of our free executor workshops later this year:

Last but not least, we said a fond farewell to Mary McCrorie in our Bristol office, who retired as Partner at the end of last year. Mary remains closely connected with VWV in her capacity as consultant.

I hope that you enjoy this edition and that you will take a few moments to enter our prize draw to win a luxury hamper as I continue to welcome your feedback and comments.
