Estate Planning

Be honest: are you one of those people who intends to get their affairs in order...

But just keeps putting it off?

If this sounds familiar, you might be stuck in what we call 'The Getting Life Ready Black Hole.'

This is a place many find hard to escape from!

Many have a will - or plan to create one eventually. They aim to prepare for life’s uncertainties but end up floating aimlessly without a clear plan. Essential documents and information are either scattered or missing, and access credentials are all over the place.

In reality, their families are just one unexpected event away from potential disaster!

So what's keeping you trapped in the Black Hole?

Common mistakes you're probably making

Mistake #1

You think it’s going to take way too much time. You picture yourself locked in a room with piles of paperwork and your laptop like some sort of doomsday prepper, and honestly, who has time for that?

Mistake #2

You’re worried it’s going to cost a fortune in legal fees. You imagine endless meetings with solicitors /  lawyers in fancy offices with leather chairs, sipping overpriced coffee, while your wallet gets lighter and lighter.

Mistake #3

You keep telling yourself you’ll “get around to it later.” Estate planning is on the same list as cleaning the garage or starting that workout routine: “I’ll do it when things calm down” - which, let’s face it, never happens

Is it that you’re also overwhelmed?

Is it all the confusing legal jargon and estate planning documents you keep hearing about?

And the thought of figuring it out sounds like a test you didn’t study for. Healthcare proxy, power of attorney, advance directive - it’s like trying to read the instruction manual for a spaceship when all you want to do is plan for the future. 

Mistake #4 So instead, you do the classic move: NOTHING 

Why these mistakes are pulling you deeper into the Black Hole

The longer you take, the harder it gets!

Delaying it because you think it will take forever
Yep, it's is like waiting for the perfect time to start a diet — there’s always another pizza party coming up! But in reality, with the right plan, it doesn’t have to take as long as you fear.
Worrying about how much it will cost
Totally understandable, but not having an estate plan could cost your family more in legal fees and stress. Not to mention the priceless family arguments over who gets your collection of novelty mugs.
Feeling lost in the estate planning terminology is common
We get it, it’s hard to start when you don’t know the difference between a healthcare proxy and an advance directive. But here’s the thing: breaking it down into bite-sized pieces and focusing on what really matters can make it a whole lot easier than you think.
Waiting for the 'perfect time' is a trap
You know there’s never going to be a time when you’re less busy or feel more ready. The perfect time is now - so you can avoid leaving your family with a puzzle only they didn’t sign up for.

Assign trusted individuals to handle your affairs: Designate reliable people as your executors, healthcare proxies, or powers of attorney - not just for when you're gone, but in case you’re temporarily out of commission (because life happens, and so do unexpected ski trips). 
Make sure they know their roles and have easy access to the necessary documents - so they’re not left scrambling when you're out of action for a bit.
