I'm helping my mum figure out how to get my dad's property into her name, since my dad has passed away. She has got the grant of probate, so I've had a look on the land registry website to try to work out how to do a transfer. But it doesn't seem so clear to me since there's at least 2 general looking forms to complete and maybe an ID form too, although it seems there's various forms to pick for that too. It also mentions a fee which I think needs to be calculated. It all feels a bit prone to error! Does anyone have any tips/suggestions? Or is it worth us going straight to a conveyancer and paying to get it done?

My girlfriend's father passed away last year, but before his death he and his wife, who were both owners on their house quit claim deeded the home to my girlfriend. The Mother and Father are both listed as grantors on the quit claim with my girlfriend being the grantee. The will states this was a gift and she didn't receive it as a beneficiary. The home was gifted before the father passed away. We believe there is a lady bird deed (Enhanced life estate) in place. Is the mother able to sell the house using the lady bird deed even though the house was gifted and quit claimed to her and she did not receive it as a beneficiary? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Understanding pensions and tax Hello, I'm just sorting out some finances for my family despite being new to this stuff I'm probably the most adept at planning in my family and I'm quite good with maths however this is still unfamiliar territory. I just want to understand something. So my father has a work pension and I just want to understand that, no matter what or whenever he will be taking it out he will be taxed correct? My natural assumption would be you don't unless you have a crazy big pension or high income to begin with. he is already above 57 in age, and so no matter what then he will be taxed right? from my understanding 25% of the pension won't be taxed, the 75% remaining will. if let's say he takes it out at the age of the 65 does that tax on the 3/4 of the pension reduce or what to? is there any advantage in waiting to take out a pension later? I've asked and it seems it isn't about to grow in size the pension pot. Also who determines the rate that 3/4 of the pension is taxed on? Does it change according to the economy? What about if he is in ill health unsuited particularly towards his job thank you
