Plan ahead and save your family the financial burden

We all have worries that our family will be looked after once we are gone. Your funeral is one of the things that will need to be dealt with, so it is no surprise many people are planning ahead and buying a Crystal pre-paid plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions,
Answered

Can I write my will over the phone and how much does it cost?

The cost of making a will over the phone is £ 99 for a single will or £165 for couples. Our support team are here to help and answer any questions. We will listen to your needs and make sure the will is completed exactly as per your wishes. We will then print off and send it out to you in the post, presented in a professional folder for you to store and keep. We also store a copy of your will here at Crystal for your peace of mind. Unlike many other Will writers this is a free service offered by Crystal Life Planning.

What’s the cost of updating a will?

This depends on what or how much of the will you would like to change or update. We charge a standard fee of £30 for a basic update such as change of address. Or take advantage of a low yearly subscription, giving unlimited updates, amendments & free storage. Please call our team for more advise should you wish to update your will.

How do you choose who inherits your estate?

Simply put, that is totally up to you, we at Crystal Life Planning value our clients wish, so if you want to leave your estate to your partner, your parents, your children or your favourite charity, its your choice. However, choosing who you leave your estate to is an important decision and careful consideration should be given when making these choices.

What is an executor and how do you appoint them?

An executor of a will is somebody you nominate to carry out the wishes left in your will. They could be a friend, family member or a professional – the most important thing is that they feel comfortable and confident administering your estate.

How much does it cost to write a will?

Save yourself £100's compared to High Street Solicitors. At Crystal Life Planning, we charge just £99 for a single will or £165 for a couples mirrored will.

Can I choose where and when the cremation or burial takes place?

Not with the Direct Cremation Plan. We have gone to great lengths to carefully select reputable crematoriums around the country. We select the crematorium that best suits the location of the deceased, combined with how you would like the ashes delivered.

However, with our Celebration of Life Plan and Traditional Plan you have the choice of crematoria.
