While no one likes to consider the morbid topic of mortality, making a Will does not need to live in the too hard basket. Having an effective estate plan can bring a sense of purpose and peace of mind that the most important people in your life are taken care of when you are unable to take care of them.
Does a $30 Will Kit do the job? Like anything DIY—it doesn’t suit everyone, especially if you:
- have children
- have a mortgage
- have a blended family
- owe parents money (e.g. borrowed a deposit on your home)
- own property or assets as tenants in common or in individual names
- have a disabled family member
