Financial Assistance – Covering Funeral Costs and Legal Expenses
Losing a loved one can be overwhelming, not only emotionally but also financially. At Sims and Jones Funeral Directors Swansea, we are dedicated to easing your burden by ensuring that you receive the care and clarity you need during this difficult time. Our comprehensive financial assistance service is designed to help cover funeral costs and manage the legal process, including Probate.
Understanding Probate and its Challenges
Probate is the legal process that validates a will in court, confirming it as the true last testament of the deceased. This process is an essential first step in administering the estate, but it can be complex and add to the stress following a bereavement. In addition to managing your grief, you may find yourself having to tackle estate administration, wills, and other legal concerns – all of which can be both confusing and financially draining.
Our Partnership with Curtis Legal
To help alleviate these challenges, we have partnered with a trusted local solicitor, Craig Bond from Curtis Legal. With extensive experience in arranging Probate and administering estates, Craig offers a compassionate and clear approach, ensuring you have professional support every step of the way. His service is designed to take the weight of legal and financial concerns off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on remembering your loved one.
How the Service Works
Transparent Legal Costs:
Craig will discuss and fix his professional fees before commencing any work. This means you know exactly what to expect—there are no hidden charges or surprises.
No Upfront Payments:
There is no need for an immediate payment. Curtis Legal covers the funeral expenses in full, paying the designated Funeral Director on your behalf while Probate is pending.
Reimbursement from the Estate:
Once Probate is granted, all the professional fees and funeral costs will be deducted directly from the estate. This ensures that your family receives the remaining balance without any additional out-of-pocket costs.
Personalised Support:
To guide you through the entire process, Craig will arrange a home visit to discuss Probate and the administration of the estate in detail, answering all your questions and alleviating your concerns.
