Our Services
We’re here to help you
The small print
Our actions and advice will always conform to relevant UK law, and are aimed at providing the maximum benefit to our clients in the most economical way possible, but always at the highest possible standard. Every Callaghan Will Writer will assist each of their clients in making informed and balanced decisions regarding any of their estate or power of attorney needs, whilst ensuring that the client is acting freely, without coercion or undue influence, and with sufficient understanding to make an informed decision.
Prices & Payment
Our prices are extremely competitive even though we do provide high quality and personally tailored services to meet individual needs. As such you will find that Callaghan advisers do not offer a fixed price tariff, but prices are generally very similar. Individual advisers are often willing to propose solutions which accommodate their clients’ available budgets and timescales. It is always our practice to agree our prices and payment method clearly in advance by way of a Letter of Engagement. Once agreed, prices are fixed and without hidden extras. A minimum 50% deposit with the remaining amount paid on completion is our standard payment structure.
Pre-Paid Funeral Plans
Many people are still unaware that they can safely and cost-effectively pre-pay for their own funeral during their lifetime. Funeral costs have consistently risen at rates well above inflation, so it can make good sense to sacrifice part of your low-yielding bank or building society savings now and secure YOUR choice of funeral at today’s prices. Even if you have allocated savings on a special account, accessing the money after your death may be difficult until probate is granted. By choosing a pre-paid funeral plan, your relatives or executors would be spared the embarrassment of being asked to pay several thousand pounds by a funeral director, which they may end up having to borrow. You may be very happy to have a fairly low budget funeral but, if you don’t pre-plan, the relatives you leave behind may not be aware of this and may choose to splash out on a lavish affair at a cost well above that which you would find acceptable.
Alternatively, they may choose a fairly modest funeral when you would have preferred a top-of-the-range send off. Choosing what you prefer in advance can avoid family arguments and make a very difficult time less painful for those you leave behind. If you have reasonable levels of savings that are not performing well, using some of them now can make good financial sense and avoid difficult choices for your family or friends. The money you invest in your pre-paid funeral plan is fully protected, and you can even pay by instalments if you prefer, so please ask us now for further details.
