You've probably helped your parents with online banking, WhatsApp, or spotting scam messages.
But have you ever asked if they have a valid will?
It's not always an easy conversation to start, yet it's one of the most important. A will isn't only about money. It's about making sure your parents' wishes are known, their loved ones are protected, and unnecessary delays are avoided when the time comes.
A few simple questions to start:
✅ Do you have a will?
✅ Where is the original written will kept?
✅ Is the will signed & witnessed?
✅ When last was the will reviewed / updated?
✅ Who is the executor?
You don't need to discuss finances or who gets what. The goal is simply to make sure a plan exists and can be found when it's needed.
The reality is that many South Africans still don't have a will, which can leave families facing added stress and legal complications during an already difficult time.

Have you ever wondered what would happen to a loved one who depends on you if you were no longer around? 💙
Estate planning isn't only about passing on wealth. It's about making sure the people who rely on you are cared for according to your wishes.
For parents of children with disabilities or dependants who may struggle to care for themselves, having a valid will and the right estate planning structures in place can make a significant difference.
Proper planning can help ensure ongoing care, minimise uncertainty, and provide peace of mind for your family.
One important takeaway: Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. It's for anyone who wants to protect the people they love.
Read the full article on my blog and discover how thoughtful estate planning can help protect vulnerable loved ones.

Endowment bias can keep investors holding onto a portfolio that may need a rethink, while resisting changes and clinging on past the point that still makes sense.
