But first, let's rewind. What exactly is estate planning? I'd like you to think of it as a sat nav for your loved ones. So, if anything happens to you they have crystal clear directions to get them to the destination of your choosing.
Now, why is this topic a little hotter than it has been in the past? Well, life is just getting more complex, isn't it?! Blended and more diverse family structures, longer life expectancy, and a massive rise in legal challenges against peoples Wills after they have passed away. And let's face it, few of us want their loved ones dealing with legal tangles during an already emotional time.
But estate planning is not just about your final wishes. Lasting powers of attorney are essential tools, too. Think of them as your trusty sidekicks, making decisions about your finances and healthcare if you're ever unable to do so yourself.
And guess what?
You don't have to wait until near the end of your life's journey to get these things sorted. Even those of you blessed with youth can benefit from having a basic plan in place.
It's all about peace of mind for you and your loved ones, knowing things are taken care of, no matter what life throws your way.
But - I'm certain a lot of you still have questions. What about my digital assets? What if my family situation is super complicated? Who will walk my dog when I'm gone?
