Can I sell my dad's house while waiting for probate?
Name supplied
Since 2019 delays at the probate registry have been common and have posed a real challenge for many dealing with the administration of an estate, adding to the stress and uncertainty of what is already an extremely difficult time.
While waiting times have shown some signs of improvement over the past year, the process unfortunately remains quite unpredictable. In our experience, some grants are being issued within as little as two weeks of the application, while others are taking up to 12 weeks. That said, 12 weeks is generally considered the upper limit in most cases, so I am hopeful that you will get the grant shortly.

BMW bosses unfairly dismissed disabled worker after spying on him
A disabled BMW worker was discriminated against and unfairly dismissed after bosses authorised covert surveillance on him, believing he was exaggerating his back pain, a tribunal has found. Mohamed Kerita, who worked in the firm's manufacturing factory, suffered with back pain from 2017, the tribunal in Reading heard. In March 2023, a physiotherapist emailed the absence manager Richard Darvill to say that Kerita had been signed off work by his GP for two months. The physiotherapist said he could not explain the level of pain Kerita was experiencing and why he remained unfit for work, the tribunal heard. Darvill and the HR manager Akhil Patel instructed the security firm G4S to carry out surveillance of the claimant, which the employment judge, Emma Jane Hawksworth, said was a 'highly unusual step'. A G4S surveillance operative followed Kerita and filmed him from behind walking about three miles in about one and a half hours, even though the claimant never said he could not walk, the tribunal heard. In a report, they said that there was 'no indication whatsoever that the claimant had lower back, leg or shoulder pain or was experiencing sickness or dizziness', despite not filming Kerita's face. Darvill later approached a senior manager to get more funding for further surveillance to ensure a 'robust outcome', the tribunal heard. In May 2023, Kerita was dismissed for gross misconduct, including a fraudulent claim of company sick pay and unacceptable levels of absence. During a disciplinary meeting, he had said that he was in the wrong area and needed light duties but his managers told him there were none and sent him home, the tribunal heard. The tribunal found that Kerita's back pain met the definition of a disability under the Equality Act 2010. Judge Hawksworth said it could be inferred that managers 'had a level of distrust or hostility towards associates with back conditions, and were unwilling to take their word for it that they had a back problem, or were quick to conclude that a person with a back condition was not being honest about their symptoms'. The judge added: 'We have found that the respondent made assumptions about what the claimant had told them about his ability to walk and about the G4S surveillance film.' Kerita's claims of failure to make reasonable adjustments, disability discrimination and unfair dismissal succeeded.

Steve Coogan to lead regeneration of Greater Manchester hometown
Comedian Steve Coogan has said he plans to "put back into a community that was very good to me" after being chosen to lead the regeneration of his hometown in Greater Manchester. The comedian has been announced as co-chairman of a mayoral development corporation (MDC) set up to boost the redevelopment of Middleton. His appointment was announced by the Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham alongside five other MDCs designed to boost growth in the region. Coogan said Middleton was a town "really rich in history, the history of people power" and was a "great place to grow up". He said: "I feel I owe the people of Middleton a debt. That's why I'm happy to be involved and talk to people in Middleton and ask them what they want and what they need."Steve Coogan, who grew up in Alkrington, will work with Rochdale Council in the role on proposals including restoring Middleton Arena, the town gardens, and plans to bring the Metrolink to the also announced former British Olympic champion Lord Sebastian Coe will chair a newly-established MDC for the regeneration of Old Trafford, including the development of Manchester United's new home stadium.

Lord Coe said sports-led regeneration projects fostered strong communities and acted "as a catalyst for economic growth"."Twenty years on from securing the Olympic and Paralympic Games for this country, I'm ready to help deliver a vision of equal scale and ambition," he Council has estimated the regeneration of the area could bring 15,000 new homes, 48,000 new jobs and inject more than £4bn to the economy.

Government's diluted welfare bill clears House of Commons
MPs have approved the government's benefits bill, which was heavily watered-down last week following a rebellion by Labour Universal Credit Bill is expected to be classed as a money bill, meaning it could become law after one month, with or without the approval of the House of measures implement cuts to the health-related element of universal credit for some claimants, while ensuring other parts of the benefit rise above bill had originally proposed making it harder for people to claim the personal independence payment however, following objections from Labour MPs, this has been scrapped for existing claimants and put on hold for future ones. Personal independence payment (Pip) is paid to people with long-term physical or mental health conditions and is not linked to the recipient's savings or income. In contrast, universal credit (UC) is means-tested and designed to help support the unemployed or low-paid people. Urging MPs to back the bill, Disabilities Minister Sir Stephen Timms said: "If you can work, you should, if you need help into work, the government should provide it, and those who can't work must be able to live with dignity."Those are the principles underpinning what we're doing."The government said nearly four million households would see their income boosted by £725 over the next five years, as a result of increasing the universal credit standard the government's climbdown last week, 47 Labour MPs still voted against the legislation and backed a rebel amendment tabled by York MP Rachael Maskell. During a debate ahead of the final votes, Maskell called the bill an "omnishambles" which would result in different levels of UC to people depending on whether they had claimed before or after April asked if someone who came off universal credit as their illness subsided but then had a relapse and needed the benefit would be awarded a lower rate compared to what they had previously Stephen said the bill already protected people in the situation she had Maskell pushed her amendment to a vote which would see those with fluctuating medical conditions receive the existing rate of UC, rather than the lower rate applied to new claimants. It was defeated by 334 votes to 149. The Conservatives also tabled an amendment which would have made further changes including reducing payments for those with less severe mental health conditions and excluding some foreign nationals from certain benefits. It was defeated by 416 votes to 103. In the final vote, MPs approve the bill by 336 votes votes to changes to universal credit will apply across the UK while any measures relating to Pip apply in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Last week - in order to ensure the bill could pass - ministers were forced to make last-minute concessions including announcing that stricter eligibility rules for new Pip claimants would not be introduced until a review into Pip assessments had been review - which aims to conclude in autumn 2026 - will be led by Disabilities Minister Sir Stephen Timms and would be co-produced with disabled people and the organisations that represent them. During Wednesday's debate, several Labour MPs urged the government to strengthen the role of disabled people in the review. Labour MP Marie Tidball said their involvement in the Timms review should be "meaningful and not performative". Another Labour MP, Stella Creasy, said disabled organisations should have veto power over any recommendations made by the review. Before MPs had begun their debate, a United Nations panel raised concerns about the impact the government's proposals would have on disabled a letter to the Department for Work and Pensions, the UN's high commissioner asked about measures to "address the foreseeable risk of increasing poverty rates amongst persons with disabilities if cuts are approved".The government had estimated the bill would save £5bn a year by 2030, however the concessions it made to ensure the bill could pass mean those savings have been virtually wiped week, Chancellor Rachel Reeves was asked if the changes would lead to tax rises. She said she would not "speculate" but added: "Of course there is a cost to the welfare changes that Parliament voted through this week and that will be reflected in the Budget."
