Facilitator - Liz Taylor

I am Liz Taylor, a certified End of Life Planning Facilitator based in Surrey, England. My purpose is about helping people.

I believe we need to demystify death and not leave things to chance, which is why I have trained as a Before I Go Solutions End-of-Life Planning Facilitator.

I used to provide guidance for FTSE 250 companies and boards of directors. Now I do it for individuals. I come from a strong business and legal background. During 2010 to 2014, I lost four of the most important people in my life, my marriage, my home and a job I loved. I have direct experience of receiving ‘the phone call we think will never happen’ and the legal, emotional, and administrative tasks of mourning and loss that I then faced.

As a result, I studied the latest methods with which to help others going through something similar. By combining all these aspects of my life, I bring qualifications with The Governance Institute, The Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, Before I Go Solutions, The Soul Midwives Movement and Grief Recovery Institute.

Invaluable sympathetic help and practical guidance

I had known Liz socially for a while when struck with a sudden and unexpected family bereavement. Liz's combination of emotional help around grief, practical guidance regarding the funeral and technical knowledge of the probate and wills process was invaluable at a sensitive and difficult time. You can find the individual elements through counsellors, lawyers etc but Liz offers a unique package of skills creating a one stop shop, all delivered with a sympathetic and experienced arm around my shoulder who could not do enough to help. I will certainly be working with Liz on my estate planning and ensuring that my own affairs are in order should the worst happen to reduce the difficulties, stress (and IHT) that await my Executors. Thank you Liz.

Services I offer

My mission is to support you and your loved ones with the emotional, legal and practical matters arising at times of bereavement and loss - providing care and help when you need it most.

Emotional Support

I have many years experience of supporting people through loss and am able to teach you lifelong tools to help you recover. Someone independent of family and friends to really listen. Whether caused by death, divorce, the end of a relationship, the end of a career, the death of a pet, or other losses and tragedies, there is a way to move forward.

End-of-Life Planning, including Legal and Practical Support

The burden of administration that a loved one has left behind can be bewildering and so many people leave things to chance when they die. As a licensed Before I Go Solutions Facilitator, I can help you prepare your personal, financial and legal information before your loved ones have to. And when the inevitable happens, I can help those left behind with the English probate and intestacy system and deal with all the details they face.

One-Stop Shop

I offer a one stop shop. A unique and bespoke combination of emotional, legal and practical skills backed by personal experience, to provide help and support through the turbulent and traumatic changes brought about when preparing for the end-of-life and at times of bereavement and loss.
