Legal Services from Golden Charter
At Golden Charter we specialise in pre-paid funeral plans but appreciate that paying and arranging for your funeral is only part of planning for the future. For that reason, Golden Charter Select offers a comprehensive range of legal services for later life planning to complement the funeral plan service. Our services include Will-writing, Power of Attorney, Probate Planning and Asset Protection.
Will-writing
You may already have a Will - but are you sure it’s up-to-date, and reflects your wishes? As members of the Institute of Professional Will-writers, Golden Charter Select makes it easy and inexpensive to write or update your Will. What’s more, it could cost less than going through your bank or solicitor.
Power of Attorney
No-one wants to think about becoming incapable of making their own decisions through illness or accident. But it happens every day, to people of all ages. A Power of Attorney lets you plan ahead to make sure that all your wishes are respected - whatever happens. It gives you the confidence of knowing your future is in the hands of someone who cares about you.
Probate Plan
Probate is the legal process of transferring money and possessions to the people who will inherit them, and it can be both expensive and complex. Organise and pay for your Probate in advance with Golden Charter Select and you can save your loved ones money and worries. That’s because you pay fixed costs in advance, saving you money and you also benefit for complete peace of mind as you have set out exactly how your assets will be dispersed.
Asset Protection
Reports suggest that up to 20,000 homes a year have to be sold to fund residential care costs. But many of these could have been prevented. An Asset Protection Trust from Golden Charter Select helps safeguard your home and other possessions, including savings and investments. It means you still have total control over the things you value, but helps protect them from being sold against your wishes.
Just as with Golden Charter’s funeral plans, these services are designed to give people control of their future and protect their loved ones from unnecessary stress and financial worry. Working in partnership with UK leading legal firms, these services can help people manage and organise their affairs with confidence. Customers can plan in advance, save money and have the reassurance that everything is taken care of, no matter what the future may hold.
To find out more about the services available or to arrange a home visit, please call our friendly advisors on 0800 012 1434. There’s no obligation and it can be the first step towards complete peace of mind.
