This Q&A considers the SDLT treatment of rent payable on a backdated lease.

This Q&A concerns a situation in which a person (A) dies intestate leaving a surviving spouse (B), an adult child (C) and minor child (D). B and C take the Grant of Letters of Administration, but what happens if B dies (more than 28 days after A’s death) before concluding the administration of the estate? Assume that the estate is larger than the statutory legacy. Who is entitled to take a new Grant alongside C to conclude the administration of A’s estate?

This Q&A explains the procedure for making an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a new trustee under TA 1925, s 36(9) where an application for the appointment of a deputy is also to be made at the same time.

This Q&A considers whether the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE 2006), SI 2006/246 apply when the business and assets of a company in creditors' voluntary liquidation (CVL) are sold.
