Most people would rather not talk about their own mortality. Popping their clogs. Kicking the bucket.

It’s a difficult topic but one that’s unavoidable when it comes to writing one of the most important documents of your life: your will.

A shudder often runs through most of us at the mere mention of the word ‘will’. But fear lies in the unspoken.

The longer we remain tight lipped about wills, the scarier and more foreboding they become.

But this fear is misjudged. Really, wills are protective mechanisms. They look after the people you love after you’ve gone. Wills are your voice, making the best choices for you and your family from beyond the grave.

No one likes the idea of making a will because it forces us to think about dying, which understandably can make us uncomfortable.

But much more uncomfortable situations can arise if you pass away without making a Will beforehand. And a few moments of discomfort sorting one out could save many more moments of discomfort for your loved ones if you die without making a Will.

For one thing, your assets will be dished out according to state law rather than in the way you personally would want. It can cause huge family drama, put people you love under financial strain to pay for legal aspects, and, in the case of young children, the court gets to decide who their guardians would be, which, again, could be against your (not written) will.

So, how best to write a Will that is robust, legally sound, and affordable? Enter Peace of Mind Wills Ltd.

Death is the only inevitability in life, so doing a will is something we should all do to protect ourselves and our chosen family sooner rather than later just to be safe. Prior preparation prevents your post-death wishes not being met.
