We present results of our theoretical calculations on three nuclei of interest from the neutrino-physics point of view: Firstly, we present the second-forbidden decay branch of 115In with the ultra-low Q value and theoretical open questions related to such decays. Secondly, we have calculated estimates for the half-lives of the single-beta decay channels of 96Zr and concluded that the possible contamination from those to the geochemical measurements of 96Zr double-beta-decay half-life is rather small. Thirdly, we have taken a look at the neutrinoless resonance double-electron-capture decay of 112Sn in the light of recent JYFLTRAP Q value measurements and discovered that the badly fulfilled resonance condition renders the decay unobservable.
