In law, having a power of attorney and a will is the equivalent of ensuring you have put on your emergency oxygen mask AND ensured that those you love are all wearing theirs as well… Or, if you can stand another analogy, you have ensured that your friends and loved ones were left with a strong foundation and a shelter from the storm after your departure.

A will can set out all of your final desires from your funeral arrangements to who will receive your Aunty Betty’s china set, you know, the one your mother insisted you hold on to! Most of all, what a Will does, is ensure that when the unexpected arrives, your wishes have been set out and no one is left behind trying to put together the pieces or imagine what you would have wanted. If COVID has taught us anything, it is that the unexpected will happen. Setting out a Will can be straight forward, but most of all, it affords you the peace of mind that all is in order and that those you love are left in the best care possible. Especially for those of us with children and dependents. It is amazing what planning can do for you peace of mind!
