Question: I am married with a number of years. The family home is in the sole name of my husband.

Question: This may seem an unusual question. However, my husband is the sole owner of the family home and surrounding lands which he inherited from his father. We are married a number of years now with children. Would it be possible for him to make a Will disinheriting me and giving everything to one of our children?

We wish to make a Will , to cover, a situation of us both dying simultaneously leaving our children with no parents. Our main assets are the family home and farmlands.

Question: Recently, my husband received a letter from a solicitor wherein he was informed that if he did not pay monies being in and around the figure of €4,500 that is owed to a supplier for materials furnished to my husband, he would be brought to Court. The money is owed but we are just not in a position to pay all of it at the moment. My husband is not dealing with the situation. What could happen here?

Question: I have a neighbour whose trees are immediately adjoining on to my property. They are in a dangerous condition, in that some of them are very old and are, in my opinion ready to fall. If they do, they will cause substantial damage to my property, not to mention the personal injury that could happen. I have approached him about this, but to date, he has ignored my requests to maintain them. What are my legal rights here?
