Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of 'legal rights' is at its heart seemingly simple; giving certain parties a fixed entitlement to a deceased's estate. Regardless of how straightforward it seems, in practice, legal rights are a veritable minefield. This book is intended to act as a roadmap to help practitioners navigate through those proverbial mines. This practical guide is designed to collate the key principles, as well as highlight some of the quirks or greyer areas where there is little or inconsistent judicial authority. Legal rights issues can broadly be split into three pillars, namely "who" is entitled, "what" they are entitled to and "how" legal rights are dealt with. This book will deal with each in turn, pinpointing important principles and issues, whilst providing practical solutions. The "who" chapters will deal with issues around modern families, minor, missing or incapax beneficiaries and duties to notify. It will then consider how the net moveable estate is ascertained, when heritable property may be moveable, when gifts may be taken into account, and what deductions are to be made. Finally, it will consider how legal rights are dealt with, including issues of forfeiture, collation, interest, the interaction with various taxes, and what planning may be undertaken to potentially mitigate such an entitlement. Whilst it is aimed at those who may have less experience in dealing with all the complexities legal rights have to offer in practice, it is also designed to be a checklist for even the most experienced practitioners. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sarah-Jane advises on all aspects of Private Client law, with a particular interest in complex or contentious trusts and estates. She is recognised as a "Key Lawyer" by Legal 500 for both 'Personal Tax, Trusts & Executries' and 'Contentious Trusts & Probate'. Sarah-Jane is a full member of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP), having previously won a STEP Worldwide Excellence Award (Trusts Law & Practice) and gained her STEP Diploma (Scotland) and Advanced Certificate (Trust Disputes), both with distinction. She is also a current member of the STEP Scotland Branch Committee and is dedicated to furthering the profession through STEP and other avenues. Having previously achieved a First-Class Honours Degree in Mathematics & Economics, before entering her career in law, Sarah-Jane uses those problem solving skills alongside her private client experience to reach practical resolutions to disputes. She has hands-on experience in negotiation and mediation, and in 2021 won the Core at 20 Mediation Challenge. She regularly speaks about dispute resolution for trustees and executors, in particular on the many issues surrounding legal rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A school exclusion is a sanction of last resort that can adversely impact a pupil's life outcomes for many years after the event. The law relating to school exclusions is a complex tangle of public and regulatory law, anti-discrimination and human rights, statutory guidance, and (in relation to independent schools) principles of commercial contract and tort. It can be very difficult to know where to start, whether challenging a decision to exclude or defending one. This book offers a practical guide to the law, and will serve as a useful source of reference for pupils and their parents, head teachers, governing boards of schools, local authorities and practitioners in this surprisingly complex and multidisciplinary area. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Charlotte Hadfield is the head of 3PB Barristers' (3 Paper Buildings) Education Team.

Charlotte has also appeared in education-related appeals before the Upper Tribunal and the Court of Appeal. Her clients appreciate her approachability, pragmatism and user-friendly advice in conference, and her knowledge, experience and attention to detail in hearings. Charlotte has delivered training on all aspects of education law to a variety of audiences, including parents, schools, local authorities, expert witnesses and lawyers. Alice de Coverley is a specialist education, equality, inquiries and public law barrister with 3PB Barristers (3 Paper Buildings).
