Free, confidential advice can be given to people of state retirement age. Free advice is available from a team of locally based advisers throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Trained to be aware of issues affecting older people, they will explain the will-making process in plain, jargon-free English or Welsh. They are not tax consultants or financial advisers, but can point out ways of reducing Inheritance Tax liability, including the use of trusts within a will. Help the Aged also offers an executorship service. Should you use this service, upon your death the local adviser will secure your home, have valuables stored safely, register the death, make funeral arrangements, clear the house (if required) and provide practical, sympathetic support to those left behind. All the financial aspects of administering your estate will be managed by Help the Aged's probate legal team.
