    Happy Monday. I inherited from my mother who died in 2020 in Germany. I have paid inheritance tax in Germany and subsequently in Ireland (because the Inheritance tax % in Germany is lower than in Ireland so all is settled with that. My father (was never married to my mother, is Italian and...

    Legally binding receipt

    Thanks Brendan, We will get the conveyancing done - my solicitor already has the deeds etc but as you correctly assumed I need a certain sum asap - so if we both sign this without it being witnessed by a third person / solicitor/notary it is still valid is probably what my question is, which you...

    Legally binding receipt

    Good morning! I'm posting this here rather than in conveyancing because it's not directly related. My partner will buy a property I own from me but we have not yet started the actual conveyancing process. He has agreed to pay me a booking deposit. Can I just write a simple receipt stating that I...

    Travel insurance 6 months to process a claim - is that reasonable?

    See below Ryanair's response to my claim and yes they refunded me for the return flight I did not use. We were scheduled to fly at 22.00 all checked in and ready to board. The plane arrived late and due to no night flight in Berlin we were told I quote: the flight is cancelled we should be at...

    Travel insurance 6 months to process a claim - is that reasonable?

    Hi there, I got caught up in the airport disaster in May at Dublin airport and my return flight with Ryanair from Berlin was cancelled with no notice. As there was no Ryanair flight available for another 2 days I ended up booking a new flight with Aer Lingus. I submitted a claim at the start of...

Waiting to hear if I was successful with my application for another job, so will take my time if that new contract...

    @Zelda1959 I experienced a very similar issue about 2 months ago (fake website, that disappeared after 2 days - no order confirmation etc.) I called my bank (AIB) explained the situation and asked for a chargeback. I had to send them a letter providing the details, website URL, screenshot of...

    Do I need a solicitor to deal with my mortgage redemption ?

    Hello! I just thought I provide an update on how I got on this with this after receiving your very valued advice: 1. Went to a solicitor and asked for a quote if they were doing the whole lot for me. Approx 500 Euro but the very fair solicitor said to me that she thinks I could do it myself no...

    Do I need a solicitor to deal with my mortgage redemption ?

    Thank you! I'll have a go at it myself so. I wasn't so worried about a burglary, it was more a fire I was thinking off. Will have a look at storage facilities. Appreciate your advice a lot as usual. Merlin

    Hi, Hoping to get some advice from you. I was taken out by a driver on a roundabout in May while cycling and broke my arm.

    Road accident what is the process?

    @DirectDevil & Leo Benedict Cumberbatch eat your heart out... Her words on our one phone call were:"I can't believe it's actually broken it didn't look that bad at all" and "it's hard to remember what really happened it was all so fast"... No word from the guards yet I will wait till Monday to...

    Road accident what is the process?

    Thank you so much all, really appreciate your advice and concern. Just to reiterate: I have texted the driver multiple times and she did call me after I told her my arm was broken on the day of the accident, so I actually spoke to her. I had to see a surgeon the next day to see if they needed to...

    Road accident what is the process?

    Thanks Jazz. While I have spoken to the driver on the phone once she has now gone silent and does not reply to either text or voice calls, which is upsetting. She has also not provided her details, which I requested. I am kicking myself for having been so stupid but I was in such shock as this...

    Road accident what is the process?

    Thank you so much Thirsty and POC. I'm just back from the guards. I have an assessment with an orthopaedic surgeon later to hear if I need surgery, hopefully not. Will call the driver once I know and ask for her to use her insurance. This has been a great help. M
