BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT

Losing a loved one is overwhelming
and knowing what to do next can feel daunting.

Saga is here to help

Through our partnership with Co-op Legal Services, their bereavement support team can provide you with valuable guidance about some of the practical next steps, following a bereavement.

The service offers compassionate, expert guidance to help people navigate the practical and legal steps that follow a bereavement. Key benefits include:

Personalised guidance at a difficult time

The bereavement support team offers a calm, structured conversation to help you understand what needs to happen next. This reduces uncertainty at an overwhelming time.

Advice on government reliefs

You’ll receive support in identifying any government reliefs you may be entitled to as these reliefs are not always widely known, and some are not means-tested, meaning you may qualify regardless of your financial situation.

Support with allowances

The team can highlight various allowances you may be eligible for and explain how they work. This can help ensure you don’t miss out on important financial benefits. 

Clarity on legal requirements

They’ll talk you through the legal responsibilities and actions that may be required after someone dies. Whether the estate is straightforward or more complex, their specialists have experience in every type of estate.

Probate assessment

You’ll receive personalised guidance on whether probate is needed, and if it is, they can arrange for a Co-op Legal Services probate specialist to meet with you and take the process forward professionally and efficiently.
