Financial Advice
The loss of a loved one can be a huge strain, for some this strain is made harder if your finances are linked, you may have to apply for probate of your loved ones estate and this could incur inheritance tax, have an impact on pensions or other benefits you may be in receipt of.
With this in mind is is crucial that you seek the correct advice, your local Department of Social Security will be able to help and assist you with any benefit or pension related queries, it may be appropriate to seek legal advice as soon as you feel you are able to, free legal advise can be found at The Citizens Advice Bureau or it may be appropriate to engage with a legal professional such as your solicitor.
