Scott Rowe Solicitors

Scott Rowe can offer legal services and support regarding Parental Responsibility.

Parental responsibility relates to the rights, duties, powers and responsibilities that a parent has in respect of a child or a third party if they hold parental responsibility for that child.

We can help with all aspects of parental responsibilities and rights. If you'd like to learn more, have a no-obligation talk with our Family Law team.

Buying a home brings with it a lot of work! And Scott Rowe is here to help you through that.

We begin the process by obtaining the relevant searches for the property you wish to buy, some of which are compulsory. We will then advise you if we feel further searches are necessary to ensure no nasty surprises later on!

We will also handle the following:

* Surveyor's Report
* Receipt of mortgage offer
* Exchange of Contracts
* Receipt of mortgage funds
* Completion

We'll also help you with other things you might need or want to consider when buying a property. We go the extra mile for our customers because we care about offering the highest quality of advice and care.

If you're looking for a solicitors firm you can count on to keep your best interests at heart, Scott Rowe is here for you.

Our commitment to our community is to form long-standing relationships with our clients so they have solid legal backing in all their ventures. Whether buying or selling a property, starting a business, or making a Will, Scott Rowe is with you for the journey.

At Scott Rowe Solicitors, we recognise a grandparent's important role in a child’s life.

We recognise that a grandparent’s role can vary from family to family. We understand that in some families, the grandparent fulfils the traditional role of a grandparent and, in doing so, provides the child with love, support and the benefits arising from a relationship with wider family members. In some families, however, the grandparent plays a role more similar to that of a parent, caring for a child when a parent is, for whatever reason, perhaps unable to do so.

Sadly, the parent's relationship breakdown can impact the amount of contact the grandparent has with the child or children.

Where necessary, we can also help with Child Arrangement Orders and Special Guardianship Orders.

If you're a grandparent worried about your rights to see and care for your grandchild, get in touch and let us see how we can help.

Some things are just too important to leave to chance and family matters are one of those things.

Whatever your circumstances and stage in life, we can help you plan for the future so that you and your family are taken care of how you would want to be.

✅ Lasting Powers of Attorney - set down your wishes regarding your welfare and/or financial affairs, and allow you to appoint someone to make decisions for you should it become necessary.
✅ Receivership Advice – You may need advice when a family member has lost the mental capacity to manage their financial affairs and they do not have an existing Power of Attorney.
✅ Living Wills – set down your wishes about medical treatment. A Living Will can allay any fears of being over-treated when there is little chance of recovery.
✅ Inheritance Tax Planning – minimise the Inheritance Tax payable on your estate by your beneficiaries.
✅ Trusts – if you are making a Will and have young children, you will probably want to set up a Trust for them so that they can be taken care of if you die while they are still young.
✅ Guardians – If you have young children, you should appoint Guardians to care for them if you die while they are still young.

To discover more about how our lifetime planning solicitors can help you, please make a no-obligation enquiry by either calling us on 01297 32345 or by making an online enquiry.

Buying a house can be a fraught period. With so many moving parts and having to rely on the actions of others to move the process through the system as quickly as possible. There are always so many little bumps and curve balls that so often crop up, which can all delay the process.

We've been helping people buy and sell houses for a VERY long time, so we've seen it all! And that works well for our customers because it means there's a good chance we've seen it before when that curve ball comes along and know just how to deal with it expediently!

Our thanks to Mr & Mrs Stafford for this testimonial.

Issues relating to children present families with some of the most stressful situations, forcing decisions about how children should be cared for in the future and what the arrangements should be for them to ensure their best interests are met.

We advise families on problems arising from a dispute about arrangements for a child, relationship breakdown, substance and alcohol issues, troubled home lives, mental health issues, domestic abuse issues, issues with the local authority and so on.

Our Family Law solicitor is known for her expertise in representing children, parents, grandparents, foster parents and other potential carers who face questions about their ability to care for a child or in a dispute regarding the best arrangements for the child.

For help with any legal aspects of childcare, please call us on 01297 32345 or email us at [email protected].
