Private Client Issues – November 2025
Welcome to this month’s edition of Private Client Issues, Blake Morgan’s monthly round-up of the topics you may find of interest. It features insight and advice on developments affecting private individuals.
Our teams work both from our offices and remotely and are happy to meet with you virtually, or in person where this is preferred. We have found that many clients prefer the convenience of a video meeting, whilst other prefer face to face, particularly for the first meeting.
The perils of pandemic Wills
Rushed wills made during the pandemic are now causing real problems for families. In this article, we explore why this is happening—and how to prevent it in the future, including practical tips.
Joint bank accounts have been labelled ‘outdated’ by the modern couple – do I need one?
While there are logistical benefits to a joint account, there are clear associated risks. We explore the pros and cons of joint bank accounts, alternative agreements and look at what can be done to mitigate any risks involved.
Chattels and Capital Gains Tax explained
We examine both wasting, and non-wasting chattels. There are special rules for calculating gains and losses on non-wasting chattels, depending on whether the proceeds are more, or less than, £6,000.
Further important changes to the immigration rules
The Government is making further changes to the rules to implement the measures outlined in the Immigration White Paper published in May 2025. We highlight the key changes coming in November.
