THE TRUST
Prepaid Funeral plans and the regulation.
The FCA have proposed regulation of the industry for MAY 2021, at the present time the regulation remains the same. This will involve business processes and procedures that we are we are now building in o our prepaid funeral plan model.
​
-
Article 59 of the RAO (Regulated Activities Order) stipulates this is a restricted activity.
-
Article 60 of the RAO for the matter of exclusion the sums paid by the customer under the contract will be held on Trust for the purpose of providing the funeral and that the following requirements will be met with the Trust, in this instance...
-
The trust must be a written instrument.
-
More than 50% of the Trustees must be unconnected to the business.
-
The Trustees must appoint an independent fund manager who is an authorised person who has permission to carry out an activity of the kind specified in article 37 of the RAO, and who is a person who is unconnected with the provider, to manage certain assets of the Trust.
-
Annual Accounts must be prepared and audited by a person who is eligible for appointments as a company auditor under Section 25 of the Companies Act 1989 with respect to the assets and liabilities of the Trust.
Article 60 of the ROA says the assets and liabilities of the Trust must, at least every three years, be determined, calculated and verified by an actuary who is a Fellow of the institute of Actuaries or the faculty of Actuaries.
​
The importance of getting it right first time round
​
.
Through our experience over the past five years we have perfected a business model that is fully compliant with the regulation in every aspect of the pre-paid funeral plan industry. CPS provide the Trust Deeds via our specialised Solicitor through to work flows, terms and conditions and a thorough complaints procedures to rectify issues quickly and efficiently, we also supply all marketing materials ensuring clarity for the client along with all relevant professionals that by law have to be attached to the Trust.
​
We make sure that you are confident with the initial stage of running the Trust and also moving forward have adequate support through a service level agreement (SLA), this is set at a minimum cost, this ensures the professional standards of running the Trust are maintained and the regulations are adhered to.
​
The major advantage of your own Trust is that all the money will go to your Funeral Directors and not a third party provider, this ensures that you can provide the funeral requested way beyond the standards required. Any administration fees or additional revenue created by the Trust will go to your business making it more stable and ensuring clients money is safe and secure for whenever those funds need to be accessed, it would ensure that the client always gets the Funeral they requested. The benefits can be huge including adding to the overall value to your business.
