Yorkshire Wills & Probate Ltd

It is a difficult decision to make, simply because it is not always easy to think about planning your own funeral. There are many reasons why a pre-paid funeral plan could be right for you:



Stating your funeral wishes in your will is not binding upon your executors often. People just do not know what their deceased relative or friend wanted.


A funeral plan guarantees that your wishes will be carried out and that the funeral director’s services will be paid for at no extra cost to your family.


At a time of sadness, you will have relieved your family of financial and emotional burdens.
Those you leave behind will remember your thoughtfulness.


Savings in a bank or building society or insurance is just a sum of money. Your executors are not obliged to spend it on your funeral, and there may not be enough.

The price of a funeral plan is in line with the cost of a funeral purchased today. Funeral costs, like everything else, will almost certainly continue to rise in the future.

If there are assets owned in a sole name over £5,000 then Probate can be requested.

You have made the sensible decision to make a Will. This document is vitally important in enabling you to leave clear instructions on how your estate is to be distributed, as well as explaining any specific wishes that you may want to followed once you have passed away.
The importance of the decisions that you have made means that you need to ensure that your Will is kept safe and secure. If anything happens to your Will or if your executor doesn’t know where to find it, you may as well not have written one.
The original Last Will and Testament is the only document that will be legally accepted and it must be in pristine condition to ensure that there are no complications when following the wishes set out in it. Therefore, it is vital that your documents and are stored appropriately so that it meets the specific requirements of the Probate Courts when it is presented by your executor(s).

If you don’t leave a Will then the law will step in and a rigid set of rules, known as the Intestacy Rules, will dictate what happens to your property and your money.
