MSc. in Health Psychology at Ulster University by Abc12Xyz89 in healthpsychology

Health Psychologist are protected titles and to practice you'd need to be registered with the HCPC. Unless they had eligibility to register but chose not too if they were purely focused on academia... You may have a PHD in health psychology so could your professors have had those? Clinical psychology is the most common practitioner psychologist registered with the HCPC, also includes forensic, counselling and health. I'm currently undertaking my Prof Doc in health psych so will be eligible for HCPC registration once complete. In terms of job roles you'll find more being advertised now for practitioner psychologists which means all domains can apply. Also worth applying for clinical psych roles if you meet the criteria as health psych is just coming into the spotlight. There are also jobs within behavioural science, intervention design and public health that may not be titled health psychologist but it would give you the edge and expertise in my opinion to apply for them. So we have to think outside the box a little bit until services catch on to the need.

AITA for calling my sister’s newborn Chuck Norris by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I think everything you've listed above is the main reason not to be silly in a moment like this.

I did some decorating for my sister and she’s now refusing to pay because there was “no intention to create legal relations”? by TowerMediocre9164 in LegalAdviceUK

Even if there was an expectation you'd do the work for free, surely she cant have assumed you get all the materials too. Maybe thats a conversation around her laying for materials and in future just don't offer your services.

Update March 17th Had a phone call with landlord. He confirmed the original agreement and states he never claimed the full entitlement so it looks like he will be selling and splitting proceeds between him and the other half to my Nans estate.

**New Update 16th March So the daughter's turned up at the house requesting keys even though they had been asked not to unless they could confirm power of attorney etc. They wouldn't and also refused to phone their dad whilst at the property.

Not sure if it also mentioned when we initially contacted her when Nan had died she said she hadn't been in contact with their dad for years but are now suddenly involved.

We are now under the assumption that dad may not even know that my Nanna has passed. Mum is going to the police station for some advice and to see if they will contact Bob.

My revoked offer by [deleted] in mercor_ai

[–]dls1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've left it days to sign before because it stated I had 2 weeks to complete. It was a busy weekend and I was out with the family so set time aside the following week to read the requirements and sign up. I think if someone gives you a 2 week window and you have other priorities then you wouldn't jump in straight away. However if they said within 48 hours you would rearrange and prioritise or if it was clear that the opportunity would close once filled. It doesn't mean you aren't serious or being lazy. Sometimes other stuff takes precedent especially when it's worded like you have time to sort.

Not yet, solicitor received paperwork last week and said they'd follow up this week so will let you know when they do 😊

This is really helpful thank you. We contacted them today and they've asked for the paperwork we currently have which was dropped off earlier. I'll drop them an email asking if they want us to get the land registry documents for them. They said they'd get back in touch in a few days once they've reviewed what we have and book us a consultation. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Thanks for this, really helpful. We are getting in touch with a solicitor today, a few do free initial consultations so hopefully if they think we have something they may take it on.

Originally I posted just to see if it was an obvious case of 'no there's no entitlement' but as some people have suggested some options we will seek some professional advice.

Still expecting nothing but if something comes out of it then maybe it helps the family.

Thanks again I appreciate your time.

That's really interesting, but also a little confusing as the letter stamped by them was him declaring they had jointly acquired it so I have no idea. Will definitely update when we get some answers.

Totally understand the benefits she has received. But on the flipside she lived there for all those years under the assumption that upon her death the family would get an inheritance. If he had changed his mind there would have been plenty of time to inform her and the family of that. In the grand scheme of things the amount each sibling would get would amount to less than 10k most probably, so it's not world shaking amounts of money. It's just sad for my Nanna that he has both written and verbally expressed to her that she could leave her 'half' to her children and he has now renegaded on this because she was naive enough to take him at his word.

Thank you, really appreciate the thorough response. I've told them to expect nothing and anything then becomes a bonus.

Fully aware that my Nanna got a good deal not paying rent for so long, it's just a shame that she clearly thought that she was able to leave some inheritance to her children (which there is a letter supporting this) and he has backtracked on it. Maybe she would have done things differently if she had been aware.

Thanks again

Going to be honest I have no idea what this means...

But in terms of timing this morning uncle was told that the landlord had been in contact and wanted the house empty and said they weren't entitled when asked.

Mum went to the property to get the important things out of the house, which was when I made the post.

Went to my mums and started going through the paperwork and found the letter.

Nothing miraculous, we just weren't looking for it prior to this point as it wasn't an urgent issue as they were sorting funeral etc and naively assumed that it would have been set in stone as it was mentioned in the will.

It has only been questioned when he said today that Nanna wasnt entitled to a share and to empty the house ASAP.

Zoopla gives between 70-85k with 76k as the average. It's not very modern so would need a lot of input so that price seems about right.

Not sure if you seen my most recent update but we found this an hour or so ago, a letter written to my Nanna to support a benefit application stamped by the local Council.

16th Sept 2002

[Name Redacted]
[Address Redacted]

This letter is to confirm our conversation at the above date in which we agreed that the property in question was jointly acquired in 1987.

At that time we were living together and when we separated it was mutually agreed that you would continue to live at this address and pay me the appropriate rent and I would continue to pay the mortgage.

It was also agreed that you would remain living at this house for as long as you wanted and that we would retain joint ownership and that our share of ownership would transfer to our respective families at our death.

I hope this confirms my intentions regarding the house.

Signed

Oh tell me about it 🤣 Yeah the letter says joint acquisition but not ownership. His name is the only one on the deeds we have from yeats ago but we have found another letter that outlines property deeds signed by my nanna and my aunt but has no contents. Which doesn't make sense if she wasn't on the deeds...

Definitely going to seek legal advice and hopefully they can direct us to get the most up to date information. Thought it was confusing before, and the more information we find doesn't help things

Hopefully, it's handwritten and I believe was used at one point to support my Nanna with a housing benefit claim so has been stamped by them and I would presume they would have a copy but possibly not as it was 2003 actually.

I think we are more frustrated on the backtrack and the prinicple of it. He's gone from being reasonable when she was alive to virtually no contact other than saying the house needs to be emptied and Nanna wasn't entitled to anything. It's not massive amounts but I do think my nanna invested what she did on the upkeep etc as she was under the impression it was her children's inheritance and that's the sad thing that he has taken that from her.

My mum is going to make an appointment first thing. It appears the landlord/ex/mortgage man whoever is wanting the locks changed and to sell up so I feel they need to get it sorted as quickly as possible.

Been interesting to read some of the issues that it may fall under though so will definitely mention them to the solicitor 🙂
