What to do when someone dies - what should I do next ¦ Age Cymru

Making a will

It often gets forgotten - if you want to be sure your wishes will be met, then a will is vital.

There are a number of reasons why you might need someone to make decisions for you or act on your behalf.

If your partner has died you may be able to claim bereavement benefits. The benefits can help ease the financial worries you may face.

A living will lets you indicate what type of treatment you want or refuse some types of medical treatment in certain situations.

Find out who to tell about the death, registering a death and paying for a funeral.

Bereavement is highly personal and distressing, but there are ways to help you through a painful time.
