FUNERAL PLANNING TRUSTS (Prepaid Funeral Plan)

• Your bereaved relatives have been assisted in advance - YOU have made YOUR arrangements to meet YOUR wishes
• Future costs may be a worry - a guarantee against rising prices
• The beneficiaries to your estate have that inevitable financial burden removed
• Peace of mind
• A choice of arrangements to allow YOU to choose - at the costs YOU feel are appropriate at today's prices

The plan provides a guaranteed payment from 'Funeral Planning Trust' which is under the custodianship of Midland Bank Trust Company Ltd.

LIVING WILL - Your right to die with dignity

• A Living Will or 'Advance Directive' is a statement of your express wish to medical staff, family and friends about the withdrawal of life support treatment in the event of your terminal illness or permanent incapacity.
• Recognised within the Code of Practice of the British Medical Association.
• A formal document indicating in advance your wishes, in the event that you become incapable of communicating with others.
• Removes the burden and stress on relatives and relieves the quandary of that agonising decision.

THE LIFE ASSURANCE TRUST

• A comprehensive document providing a flexible form of trust for all types of life assurance policies.
• Ensures the immediate transfer of funds to beneficiaries on death without incurring inheritance tax or probate charges.

PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION

• Legal Systems can be appointed as a co-Executor alongside a relative or friend, who may not be familiar with the full extent of the duties and may feel apprehensive about accepting the responsibility.
• Retains a family involvement in dealing with their estate and ensures that affairs will be dealt with quickly, efficiently and by professionals who are familiar with the procedures.

CONVEYANCING

• Legal Systems offer a streamlined and cost effective conveyancing service through a team of qualified property lawyers and Licensed Conveyancers.
• Guaranteed rates, which are fully inclusive of all sundry expenses, so you pay nothing extra and there are no hidden charges.

DOCUMENT STORAGE

• With so many homes burgled or damaged by fire every year, your important documents and papers are very much at risk.
• As local banks close, our own Legal Systems 'Will Bank' can offer clients an alternative secure document storage facility which provides a cost effective solution to this problem.
• The small annual storage fee also incorporates a facility for bereavement counselling and legal fees insurance, as well as a Will update service.
