Responsible to the Director of the National Bereavement Service/Adroit Legal Services The National Bereavement Service (NBS) is a not-for profit company providing a free telephone helpline, email enquiries and webchat to bereaved people. The core areas of expertise are the practical tasks required after a death (registration of death, bereavement benefits, arranging a funeral, probate, and mail suppression). Advice is also provided for people who want to make a Will and similar pre-death arrangements. People contacting NBS are offered immediate emotional support and triaged and signposted to other services appropriate to their needs. A core principle of the service is that clients are encouraged and empowered to seek the solution to their needs that best suits them. When appropriate, referrals to legal professionals who are members of Adroit s panel (see below) are offered and facilitated, but only if the client is genuinely interested in exploring this choice further.

Clients contact us after a variety of types of death and the applicant will always need to be able to remain professional in their manner, even when being given distressing or even potentially shocking information.
