ESTATE PLANNING – TOO IMPORTANT TO PUT ON HOLD

All too often, people put off estate planning. This is understandable as, rather than preparing for the here and now, it requires you to consider what will happen when your life is over, hardly something most of us rush to contemplate. 

Consequently, estate planning often becomes, and all too often remains, a do-it-tomorrow task. When it could suddenly become all-important it might be too late. After all, accidents and sudden illnesses – such as Covid-19 – can and do happen.

This guide will help you prepare effective plans that will help ensure you control what happens to your estate.

The Guide covers the following topics:

• Your will 
  Making a will is the essential first step of an effective estate plan.
• Lasting powers of attorney
