2 Editorial the Villager CONTACTS What a strange time we are living through. At the time of going to press the lockdown is beginning to ease a little but normal life, as we remember it, still seems quite some way away. Editor: During these past weeks we have been able to celebrate our precious NHS with Julie Crawley banners, flags and Thursday night clapping whilst For the love of Scrubs has kept 01256 851003 many ladies crouched over steaming sewing machines. [email protected] Whilst we all remembered VE Day in our own particular way the commemorations were of course somewhat diluted, although for many their celebratory drinks were Advertisements: not ! Many went ahead with street parties, tea parties whilst still maintaining social Emma Foreman distancing. 01256 889215/07747 015494 I have included in this month’s issue some wonderful items about what some of [email protected] the villagers have been getting up to during these last few weeks; such as Alex Rae whose grandmother Brenda Lewis lives in SSJ. Some have been growing veg plants Distribution: to sell in aid of the NHS charity. Young James has been producing protective visors on his 3D printer for the NHS workers, and was featured in the national press as George Rust well – a real local celebrity! 01256 850413 [email protected] I would love to hear about what else our readers have been doing – this period will go down in history and it would be wonderful to document these strange times for future generations. Future Events: Sadly recently we have lost some very special people from our community and we Lindsay Berry send our condolences to their families and friends. We were all saddened by the 01256 850495 death of SSJ resident, Dr Judith Darmady, a lovely modest lady who achieved so [email protected] much for the benefit of children throughout the world. She was a dear friend and neighbour to many and will be sadly missed. Pamber Correspondent: Above all we have all experienced “the kindness of strangers” over the past few Ann Ellis weeks and hopefully will continue to do so! One reader asked me to “Just say thank [email protected] you to all the kind people who phone, pick up medication, shop and just smile as they pass by”. So thank you to all those who have been putting themselves out for others – it is so appreciated. To make up for missed magazines in May and June, Bert has been extra busy while away on his enforced holiday. I am delighted that he is now home and enjoying the Hampshire smells again. On page 4 there is a piece from the Clift Surgery re Covid-19; but I am sure it Contents applies equally to all the other local GP surgeries. Sherbornes with Pamber 6

Dr Alexander Rae

A former pupil of the Priory School, Alexander, has spent six weeks working on the Covid-19 Intensive Care wards at Northwick Park Hospital London. Alex is a qualified dentist working in London. His dental practice, along with others, was closed at the start of the crisis – so he then volunteered for redeployment to the ICU at Northwick when virus admissions peaked in March/April and the NHS was under serious pressure. In the ICU he used his medical training to support specialist nurses and doctors treating patients on ventilators requiring around-the-clock monitoring and care. Speaking of his experience, Alex said that although it was very hard work and understandably stressful at times, he will look back with pride at the part he played in the team at Northwick Hospital.

SSJ Tennis Club coaching sessions

During the summer school holidays the club has the facility to provide coaching sessions for children, run by a registered LTA coach and complying with government Covid 19 guidelines. The Sherborne St John hard courts are in great condition and it would be lovely if we could make use of them to their full potential.

New restrictions mean sessions are limited to around 5 children per court/coach and so before any commitments are made we are looking to gauge the level of interest so we can plan the level of coaching required. We are estimating the cost to be approximately £8 per session, rackets and balls can be provided. If this is something your child would be interested in, or you have any questions, please drop Anne Todd a line via the contact details below. (We may also be able to offer other coaching for adults and children on a private or group basis. Again let Anne know and she will fill you in on more details).

Many thanks, SSJ Tennis Club Anne Todd [email protected] 01256 850537

30 ADVERTORIAL Probate issues

Dealing with the estate of somebody who has died can been difficult. Apart LEGAL from the emotional turmoil that follows a death in the family, you are faced with endless amounts of paperwork and legal processes which can result in a great CORNER deal of confusion. During these challenging times, the Wills and Probate at Phillips Solicitors is on hand to assist you if you are dealing with the loss of a loved one. In most cases, ‘Probate’ is required before the family can deal with the assets of the person who has died. This is required irrespective of whether the deceased had a Will. Applying for Probate involves a twofold process. The first is to declare the value of the estate to HMRC for tax purposes. Then, following this, a Court application can be made to the Probate Registry, which is the Court that issues what is called the Grant of Probate. The Court has recently introduced a way of filing Probate applications online. However, this does not mean that the process is any way simpler than previously. Once you have obtained Probate, the wishes in the deceased’s Will must be carried out, but if there is no Will, then their estate must be distributed to the people who are entitled under the rules of intestacy; these set out a strict order of entitlement. Our clients find it very useful that we operate a client account, which means that we can collect the sale and closure proceeds of any assets, to include property and bank accounts, ready for distribution to the beneficiaries. This negates the need to set up an Executor’s account by you, something which is proving difficult in the current circumstances. In terms of the legal fees involved, you may find that other companies offering a Probate service (who are quite often not solicitors) will either charge a percentage commission or will have a rigid fee structure whereby their fees will rise sharply if any unexpected matters arise. By comparison, and in line with most solicitors firms, our charges reflect the amount of time we actually spend in dealing with the estate, and in most cases, we are happy for any fees to be paid from the estate itself. If you are in the unfortunate position of dealing with an estate of somebody who has died or if you are an Executor who requires assistance, our helpful legal advisers will be happy to assist you and guide you through the process.
