After a funeral is arranged with Willed, you’re walked through the next steps for probate or letters of administration and offered a free appointment with Willed Law. They’ll then talk through anything legally applicable to your situation, so you know where to turn next.

Once you’ve arranged your funeral, Willed’s team can explain the common legal next steps and connect you with professional legal support when you need it.

Support Beyond Funeral Arrangements

When you arrange a funeral with Willed, the company doesn’t just help you plan the service and then leave you to figure out the rest. They recognise that funeral arrangements are often just the beginning of what families need to handle after a loss.

After your funeral has been arranged, Willed can explain the legal matters that typically follow and connect you with Willed Law where legal help is needed. This might include probate (the legal process for administering a deceased person’s Will) or letters of administration (required when someone dies without a valid Will).

Rather than leaving you to navigate these complex legal matters alone, Willed can connect you with Willed Law for a free appointment. After you’ve arranged your funeral, you’ll receive an email giving you the option to book this consultation.

During this appointment, Willed Law will discuss your specific situation and explain what legal steps might be necessary. They’ll answer your questions, explain the processes involved, and advise you on the best path forward. This free consultation gives you clarity about what lies ahead and helps you make informed decisions.

Comprehensive Estate Support

The value is in having funeral support and legal support coordinated clearly. The funeral team can explain the next steps and connect you with Willed Law, so you do not have to work out who to speak to next.

Whether you need help understanding probate, letters of administration, or other post-funeral legal matters, Willed Law can guide you through these often-confusing processes.

How Willed Can Help

Willed can coordinate funeral support and connect you with legal support through Willed Law. After arranging your funeral, Willed can connect you with Willed Law for a free 30-minute consultation. This gives you access to professional legal guidance during a time when you’re already dealing with a lot. Whether it’s probate, letters of administration, or other estate matters, Willed helps make sure you know where to turn next.
