The 2024 Bereavement Index Needs You
Exizent has recently announced the launch of its Bereavement Index for the fourth consecutive year. This index provides insights into the state of bereavement in the United Kingdom, highlighting areas where progress has been made and identifying areas that still require attention. To create this report, Exizent conducts surveys among legal professionals, financial services professionals and bereaved individuals. The aim is to examine legal, financial, and emotional factors to determine where the nation stands with current bereavement processes and identify what still needs to be done to make it a smoother process for everyone involved.
To support their 2024 Bereavement Index research, Exizent is seeking legal professionals who are responsible for managing probate/confirmation cases to participate in their annual report by answering a brief 10-minute survey. Your input is crucial to the success of this report and as a token of appreciation, participants will have the chance to enter a prize draw for a £100 gift card, of your choosing.
