    WARNING: This episode mentions death and dying in the context of the legal implications of death.

    We know that law affects us during our lives but what happens when we die to all our things social media accounts even our pets? And how are children affected?

    Alma and Lucinda talk to Melinda Giles, the Head of the Private Client and Court of Protection department at Giles Wilson Law Ltd about the law and procedures when we die.

    She tells us

    · What is the legal process following death and what happens to our things

    · Why wills are important and what happens if you don’t make one

    · What happens to pets and our online presence accounts

    · How these laws affect children

    · How she advises and supports families in complex situations

    When Melinda was 10 years old she loved reading so much she would hide under the covers with a torch at bedtime. She wanted to write and illustrate books at a beautiful desk!
