Living a financially organised life inevitably also means preparing for a financially organised death.
Having a sound estate plan in place is more than just writing a Will, and is definitely not something that should be left until the last minute. Developing a strategic estate plan is essential when you are planning for retirement. So, where do you start?
It’s a sad fact that life does not always go to plan. While we logically know that, most of us don’t plan for the worst - it’s all a bit morbid and time consuming.
