'But what does that mean?!' Legal Jargon Explained

From disbursement to executors, from conveyancing to arbitration…

Your legal professional or lawyer should also explain them to you if you ask. We are always approachable for advice or guidance and will be glad to help explain anything which seems to make no sense. There is no such thing as stupid question!
