Life is to enjoy. Avoid unnecessary worries!

Now that you’re already a resident, you probably haven’t thought about it yet … but it might be time to put things in place for your loved ones!

To be honest, it’s usually a topic that almost everyone tries to avoid talking about, due to the sensitivity and complexity of the topic. But it’s something that in the end is necessary. It’s important to have arrangements in place, especially to avoid worrying those we left behind if something happens to us.

So, yes, we are talking about a ‘Funeral Plan’ and how necessary is to have one, especially when you reside in a foreign country. Because the worst times come without warning, this type of insurance allows us to leave everything prepared.

In Spain, the funeral process is very fast (between 24-48 hours), which makes it very difficult for an expatriate, and even more so if their only family is abroad. There is very little time to be able to arrange everything necessary and have the preparations of the funeral in order, which adds a great pressure of time for them. Not to mention that the process will probably be in Spanish. Add to this also the economic factor as a funeral in Spain can cost between 3,500 – 5,000 Euros.

To have a ‘Funeral Plan’ contracted in advance it then becomes an easier process since most of the procedures are included and will be carried out by the insurance company, without having to worry family members and make these hard times even harder.

But don’t worry! As always, SGM ABOGADOS are here to help you and make the entire funeral process in Spain much easier.

At SGM Abogados, as most of you know, we’re agents of Liberty Seguros, they’re well known for their efficiency and great prices (among other things). So, we can offer you a quotation without any commitment and guide you in the Plan’s process to be able to leave your mind at peace.
