Estate Planning Services

melton estate planning services

We know how important it is for you to ensure your loved ones are provided for. We also appreciate how confusing estate planning can be, which is why we have teamed up with Co-op Legal Services, to provide our customers with an expert estate planning service.  We chose to work with Co-op Legal Services because they’re part of the Co-op Group, one of the UK’s largest mutual businesses.

Why make a will?

Making a Will is one of the most important decisions you can make during your lifetime. It makes it easy for your family to deal with your money and other assets (your estate) after you die and means you can:

  • Make sure the government doesn’t decide what happens to your assets
  • Decide exactly who inherits what
  • Appoint guardians for children under 18
  • Minimise any Inheritance Tax
  • Choose your funeral arrangements
  • Make gifts
  • Use trusts to help preserve the family’s legacy
  • Choose your executor

Other services

  • Trusts
  • Inheritance Tax Planning
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney
  • Funeral Plans
  • Probate & Estate Administration

How our Estate Planning service works

All appointments with the Estate Planners take place either in the comfort of your own home or in a branch of the Melton.  This initial consultation is free and without obligation and gives you the chance to review any existing plans you may have and talk through your situation and wishes with a professional advisor. After that you can decide whether you wish to use their services.

To find out more please visit the Co-op Legal Services Resource Hub.  Here you will find lots of useful information and tools, for example, in the Estate Planning section you can learn about the different types of Will there are and why you need to consider making an LPA. In the Probate section we explain what you need to be aware of if dealing with an estate and explains how we can help. You can then refer yourself to Co-op Legal Services via the ‘Contact us Today’ button if you want to speak to us.  To visit the Co-op Resource Hub please click here
