Death is a subject that most people do not like to think about, but with more than half a million Britons dying each year - around one percent of the population - almost everyone will have to deal with the consequences of someone close to them dying. IFA Promotion has produced a free guide offering guidance to those dealing with the many practical issues which follow on from a bereavement.
The guide A practical guide to dealing with bereavement - highlights specific areas such as:
Making funeral arrangements and notifying relevant authorities
The importance of wills and the benefits e.g. deeds of variation
The role of Executors and Administrators
How to value an estate, and track down and claim monies owed to it
The laws of probate and final accounts
With a particular focus on the numerous financial considerations, the guide aims to provide a useful point of reference in difficult times.
David Elms, Chief Executive of IFA Promotion, commented; Coming to terms with the death of someone close is difficult enough, without the additional complication of the practical issues involved. There is so much administration that needs addressing at a time when many are at their most vulnerable.
This guide is a starting point, which combined with local professional advice will help people to deal with what has to be one of the most difficult periods of their life.
For a free copy of the guide, together with details of local independent financial advisers who can help address the financial practicalities of bereavement, call the IFA Promotion consumer hotline on 0800 085 3250 or visit www.unbiased.co.uk
