“Quick” divorces – new legislation in Italy

Previously a three-year separation was required in either case and, whilst not being particularly permissive given that a separation period is still needed, this legislation will speed up the civil process and is therefore a welcome change.

The new law modifies Art. 3 of Italian Law no. 898/1970.

Whilst in an ideal world it would be nice if all families could stay together and live in harmony until death, we have to accept that going through a divorce is becoming increasingly more common in this modern era. Becoming independent again can be very stressful for most especially as it can involve organising your wealth/settlement in a new way. We help individuals to invest capital to give them piece of mind, income streams and protection levels in line with their needs and desires, whilst incorporating tax efficiency and estate planning features at the same time.

Britons stash over £1bn at home as interest rates on savings dwindle

I read an interesting report this week that brought a smile to my face.  It appears that over seven million Britons stash cash away in their homes, with around £1.3 billion languishing in spots such as piggy banks, teapots and even freezers. Drawn by the convenience of having cash to hand and dismayed by dismal interest rates, British adults are squirrelling away sizeable sums at home, it has been reported. 

Only 27 per cent said they were happy with the interest rates accruing on their savings, with many adults saying their children now save more in bank accounts than they do. On average, people said they would need to be able to generate at least £120 in additional interest a year to be persuaded to move their money.
