Death Admin: Have You Thought About It?
We all manage our day-to-day “life admin” – from bills to appointments – but have you considered preparing for your “death admin”?
While most of us recognise the importance of having an updated will, power of attorney, and health directives as part of our estate planning, we may not realise just how much work is left behind after someone passes – especially if we haven’t experienced it firsthand.
Have you made a clear list of your insurances, bank accounts, loans, investments, subscriptions, and memberships?
Do you have a backup of your passwords, and do your loved ones know where your important documents are stored?
Who are your key advisors – financial planners, accountants, or other professionals?
These are just a few of the questions that your next of kin or executor will face when it’s time to manage your estate.
Without easy access to this information, they could spend countless hours sorting through paperwork, making phone calls, and attending appointments – time they could otherwise spend grieving and cherishing memories of you.
It’s a conversation worth having with your family.
Taking the time now to organise your end-of-life admin is an investment that will provide peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.
