The summer 2025 edition of Title Research’s news digest, Entitlement, is now available.
Entitlement is our industry-focused magazine aimed at Solicitors and legal professionals. Our summer edition is out now.
This quarter, we feature the following:
A lead article from guest author Holly Miéville-Hawkins, Partner at Anthony Gold Solicitors, who offers a clear and authoritative guide to navigating the world of Trusts for individuals living with a disability or recovering from a serious injury. Drawing on detailed legislation and extensive professional experience, Holly explains the eligibility criteria, tax treatment, and practical considerations for both Disabled Person's Trusts and Personal Injury Trusts. She highlights how, for such individuals, the financial arrangements made on their behalf can be as critical as any medical or therapeutic support they receive.
We also feature two articles from a series by Simon Barber, Technical Manager here at Title Research. The first focuses on one of the more delicate (and potentially disruptive) challenges in estate administration: missing beneficiaries. He explains when and why beneficiaries go missing and outlines the effective genealogical techniques that can be employed to locate them swiftly and reliably. The second explores the challenge of identifying the rightful beneficiaries of an intestate estate. Simon offers an insider's perspective on how probate genealogists approach intestacy cases, and shows how expert genealogical research is indispensable when tackling historical records, legal frameworks, and international connections.
We also have a contribution from our expert team here at Title Research. We cover:
