Your funeral costs and expenses paid for you
At Sims and Jones Funeral Directors Swansea, we understand that the duty of care we provide, to the families who trust us with the arrangements of their loved ones funeral, does not end after the service. A funeral brings to a family emotions that include grief, a sense of loss, bereavement and distress. These raw emotions can be exacerbated by financial concerns, dealing with the will, probate, the administration of the funeral and the other legal concerns and necessary worries associated with a death in the family. Perhaps the most complicated administrative issue is the granting of Probate.
Probate is the legal process whereby a will is proved, in a court, and is accepted as a public document that is the true last testament of the deceased. The granting of Probate is the first step in the in the legal process of administering the estate of the deceased.
Sims and Jones Funeral Directors have researched ways to help with the complexities of the process of obtaining Probate and the administration of an estate. This, of course, can be completed by a member of the family. However, to remove this legal burden and speed up the process we would recommend the help of a solicitor. We understand that the services of a solicitor are costly and would vary from company to company. Following our research, we are pleased to have found a solution for you. To enhance the compassion and care we have for our clients, we are able to offer you, in addition to our funeral arranging expertise, the services of a local solicitor.
