It's also important to note that without a will, your assets could end up in the hands of distant relatives or even the state, rather than benefiting the individuals or causes you hold dear. It's a scenario that no one wants to contemplate, but one that can become a reality if estate planning is neglected.

In a world brimming with uncertainties, there's one certainty we often overlook—our legacy. The LSSA National Wills Week, slated from September 11th to 15th, 2023, beckons us to face this inevitability head-on. Don't just postpone your estate planning; empower yourself to shape your future and provide for your loved ones, even when you're no longer here.
