Keep a diary or note of key dates and what happens on that date along with copies of any important documentation. This makes it easier to recall what has been happening and helps you to remember everything.
Contact a solicitor as soon as you encounter a problem or think a dispute has arisen.
Do not be afraid to go into detail about family history and events as this sort of information is very useful to understanding family dynamics and the nature of the dispute, which can assist us greatly. I have heard stories of all types of family structures and disputes and nothing will surprise me, so do not be embarrassed to share the full details.
