Planning For Tomorrow

None of us really like the idea of planning for our own death, yet as the old saying goes “the only things that are certain in life are death and taxes”.

Despite all the warnings and advice about the importance of planning for our death, many people still fail to do so. But there are things you should do to make life easier for your loved ones when you pass away and to give you confidence you have made proper arrangements.

You can help your loved ones by leaving details of everything they will need (bank accounts, pensions, subscriptions, financial arrangements etc) in one easily accessible place.

Take a few moments to record in detail what your wishes are with regard to your funeral, then your loved ones won’t be saddled with making difficult decisions under a tremendous amount of stress and emotional turmoil.

Make a Will! This is essential to minimise any disagreements over your estate and belongings and it guarantees that your wishes are carried out.

You might even consider leaving messages for friends and family, or release secrets and personal thoughts when you have gone.

It's also a very good idea to set up a ‘Power of Attorney’ just in case you have an accident or illness and lose the physical or mental capacity to act for yourself.

When I’ve Gone has been developed to guide you through this important process. Your loved ones will gain access to all of the information they will need when you’ve gone.
