Help take care of your loved ones
None of us like thinking about what happens when we're not around any more. But taking care of practicalities now can provide peace of mind that your loved ones will be taken care of.
Planning ahead not only makes financial sense, but helps ensure your personal wishes are met. By having everything in place, you can help make a difficult time a lot easier for your family.
Along with our partners Co-op Legal Services and Co-op Funeralcare we can help with a range of legal, estate and life planning services.
These services are accessible to everyone , with a choice of meeting options to suit your needs.
