Welcome to the final edition of Legal&You for the year Thank you for your support over the last year. As we approach the festive season, we have had time to reflect on our mission to be your companion. That means that with Legal&Tax you are not alone. We are here for you through every step of your life.

In our latest Legal&You edition, we discuss the rights that protect you as a parent and the ways, even when you are divorced. We touch on funeral cover during natural disasters and we also look at ways we can help children that are diagnosed with Creche Syndrome.

We are driven to offer your products and services that are meaningful in your time of need, and to provide you with information and advice that help you to navigate the unforeseen events that life will throw your way
