by Robin Pilgrim, LawAndTax-News.com, London

31 October 2006

The HBOS Group on Saturday announced the launch of Halifax Legal Solutions, which aims to provide access to everyday legal products like wills and expert legal advice in the UK.

It called the initiative "the first of its kind by a major high street financial services provider".

Customers using the service will pay an annual membership fee of GBP89.00. Membership will give them unlimited access to all services either online or via a dedicated telephone legal advice service staffed by a team of solicitors, barristers and other qualified professionals.

Services available through Halifax Legal Solutions include:

  • Will preparation, including updates;
  • 24 hour helpline providing legal advice;
  • A qualified legal team can review and approve all Wills and documents prepared using the service;
  • An ID theft resolution service;
  • A searchable web based law guide; and
  • Discounted conveyancing.

The Group explained that:

"Halifax is well placed to leverage its position as a high street financial services provider. The Group has a relationship with two out of every five UK households. Working in partnership with established service providers, this market represents a significant organic growth opportunity for the Group."
