Aviva is launching the Red Apple Law legal service to its group income protection and group critical illness customers.
The insurer said the launch follows the successful unveiling of the proposition to its group life customers last year.
It means employees (insure and uninsured) who work for organisations with an Aviva Group Protection policy can access a comprehensive suite of legal services to help give them peace of mind if the worst happens.
The service is also available to the employee’s spouse or partner.
The support includes a range of free and discounted services such as a will writing service, help with funeral planning and guidance to help individuals navigate the often-complex estate administration process.
The Red Apple Law service also offers emotional help through online grief support.
Red Apple Law offers a legal planning consultation with their estate planning team.
They work in partnership with the bereavement team to provide advice to help the individual support their loved ones.
The law firm can also offer expert advice on things like locating a will, managing assets and finding a regulated funeral planner or experienced funeral director.
Individuals can have free access to an Executor toolkit for administering an estate online, step-by-step bereavement and funeral guides, online grief counselling and support after the funeral with areas including legal duties and probate.
Eligible employees and their partner or spouse can also receive a 25% discount off a range of complementary services provided by Red Apple Law.
These include:
- Will writing service – online, over the phone or by video call
- Lasting Power of Attorney service
- Life Planning services – including a Living Will and the My Final Wishes package
- Funeral Wishes Register
Fran Bruce, managing director of protection at Aviva said: “We are delighted to extend Red Apple Law’s extensive life planning, estate management and bereavement support to our group income protection and group critical illness customers.

“The highly experienced estate planning team can work in partnership with the bereavement team and funeral director, taking time to understand the individual’s unique circumstances.
