Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions that our Chelmsford branch gets asked: if you need an answer to a question that is not on this list, please contact us for an answer.

Do I need a solicitor to get a divorce?

Although you do not need a solicitor to get a divorce or dissolution, you will benefit from clear legal advice at a stressful time in your life.

The advice of a professional divorce solicitor who has experienced many similar situations in the past is invaluable.

What is the difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer?

When you use a solicitor for conveyancing you can be sure that they are regulated by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority (SRA), a member of the Law Society, have degree-level qualifications and at least two years on-the-job training before qualifying as a conveyancing solicitor.

Whereas a conveyancer tends to be regulated by the Council for Licenced Conveyancers (CLC) and is usually less highly qualified, although can still be perfectly competent.

Can I draft a Will myself or download it from the Internet?

We would strongly advise against drafting your own Will or downloading a pro-forma on line.

There is an increasing amount of litigation that arises from incorrectly drafted Wills, often Wills drafted by people who are not legally qualified do not do what the person drafting them thinks they do which can cause significant problems and delays in the event of your death.

Often, it ends up costing far more to rectify any errors than the cost of a Will 
professionally drafted.

Does Cunningtons offer commercial law services?

Cunningtons solicitors provide the kind of legal services that are part of everyday life, such as Residential Conveyancing for moving house, Family Law for marriage and divorce, Wills and Probate for issues around the end of life, Employment Law for the working life, and Civil Litigation to cover the times when we have to deal with contracts.

So although our Croydon branch deals with commercial conveyancing, we do not work with specialist commercial law.

Mrs A, Chelmsford
Our appointed solicitor was Kate Horsted... From day one she acted with extreme professionalism and due diligence always pushing forward for us at every opportunity... We could not offer anyone higher praise and would have no hesitation in recommending Cunningtons as a firm based on this experience.
