Prepaid Funeral Plans –are they worth having?

Many people decide to pay fortheir funeral in advance, forvarying reasons. Let’s look atsome of the benefits.

You fix the cost of your funeral when youpay for it. So even if you die 10 years later andfuneral costs have risen substantially, the price youhave already paid (approx £3,000) would still coverit. You can even spread the cost by payingin instalments.

Your family will have none of the financial worriesthat funeral arrangements often bring. They willknow exactly what you wanted and that the funeraldirector’s services have been paid for in advance.

You can express your preferences for your funeral, i.e.cremation or burial, where it’s to be conducted andwhether you want only family flowers or charitabledonations. You can even specify any hymns, readingsand music you would like.

Is your money safe?

Yes, the money you pay is held in a specific trusteefund that is professionally managed by financialexperts. This ensures there is always sufficient moneyavailable when it’s required. The funeral director isreimbursed after they have conducted the funeral bythe trustees.

Don’t forget that, without a funeral plan, money youmay have set aside for your funeral might not besufficient to cover the cost. Under these circumstancesyour family would have to make up the difference.

For more information about these plans,contact David Smith of Three Shires Willson 01280 840388.

Getting divorcedin later life

With the rate of divorce in England andWales steadily increasing amongpeople over the age of 60, many arelooking to solicitors for legal advice on

how to move on with their lives.

Whilst the process of divorce remains the same for anymarried couple, those in later life with greater assets,perhaps including a pension or mortgage-free property,may have more to consider from a financial perspective.

Some couples are able to reach a swift and amicablesolution on how to divide their finances. When directagreement proves difficult, couples can enter mediationto avoid the cost and trouble of court.

Mediation allows a couple to meet with a trained,neutral third party and discuss aspects of the breakdownof their relationship. Whilst mediators are unable toadvise, they can provide information and cost-effectiveguidance through the process of financial disclosure.

Estate agents, we all love to hate them! I’veheard some local horror stories so it’s no realsurprise. But if you want to sell or let your househow do you choose a good one?

Firstly, it really helps if you get on with him/her. If youlike and trust them, chances are your buyers will too.But check who will actually be showing people roundyour home. Will it be the nice person who sold theservice, or some anonymous junior who has never setfoot in your house?

Don’t be fooled by a high-street shop front- that’s old school! Research by the PropertyAcademy shows that 93% of house buyersshop online. So choose an agent that usesall 3 main portals, Rightmove, Zooplaand Prime Location. They’re expensive, sounsurprisingly some agents only promoteyour house on one or two, but that couldmiss potential buyers.

Talking of buyers, when are they available to view?Evenings and weekends, mostly. So don’t tie yourselfto a 9-5 agent who’s shut when your buyers are free,instead go 24/7! (Nationally, more than 50% ofEweMove’s enquiries are received after 5:00pm).

Professional photography is absolutely essential.No matter how good an iPhone is for snaps of cats,it’s no substitute for a SLR, ultra-wide zoom lens,processing software and a modicum of talent!

Finally, the written description must grab a buyer’sattention and SELL the house. Take a look atewemove.com for some great examples or, evenbetter, call me on 01280 453458 for a friendly, noobligation chat.

• EweMove offers a positive approach.
