Re: DIY wills

If your still alive you could contest things but if your dead who can contest what will is your final will, If your will is with the courts then this is your last will as when you go to leave it at the court they file it as such.

Re: DIY wills

If it is with the courts you are safer, if it is with the lawyer and you outlive him or his buisness then you have a problem and even if all is well and he is still in buisness your executor will have to attend the courts. Also you would need to trust the lawyer if he keeps the will as if he has had...

Re: DIY wills

And when you make this decision you have to go to a lawyer in Cyprus, have the statement drawn up, signed, witnessed, sealed, stamped and registered with the courts.

You must also pick a executor for Cyprus but this can be a non Cypriot person.

Think this cost us Euro 300 (150 each).

Re: Sterling bank account needed to receive pension payments

I would recomend the Wise account, mentioned above as it used to be called Transferwize. They have a great free bank account, you can pay in in Sterling, it pays interest on the balance and you can pay for things with a virtual card ( they sent me an actual card after 3 months for free), Its very ea...

Re: Drains!

Is it the silicone seal around the base? Most of the builders in Cyprus seem to rely on this and it's easy to replace.

Re: Car MOT

I wouldn't bother until your next visit, they do not seem to be too keen on MOT or TAX, some Cypriots only MOT & Tax their cars every 3 years as if it goes over 3 years you have to pay to re-register the car. I bought a second hand car and had to pay last years and this years road tax as the las...

Re: executor of will

When we did our wills a couple of years ago we put our daughter as executer, our Lawyer said that she will have to use a Greek speaking person to handle the will but they need not be a Lawyer, he has set a fixed price of Euro 3000 if she decides to use him.

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good washing machine engineer, I think my main bearing has gone so not sure if it's worth fixing it.

Thank you in advance.
