Urban Myths
Unusual for me to post a question in here, but more of a discussion than a question. I see quite a few "urban myths" as a result of my work and stuff I read on here.
Here are my top three - can anyone add to these:-
After living with someone for 6 months you become a common law spouse and are automatically entitled to half.
You have to be dependant to make a claim on an estate under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
If a shopkeeper advertises something at an incorrect price he has to sell at that price.
Any more?
