The most important aspect of our life gets the least attention.

Every few months I try and make a list of everything I have my name on - public markets, private markets, crypto wallet, my apartment papers, insurance and a small clutch of emotional belongings. The list is redundant the day I update, as markets would have moved. Anyways the list is incomplete, as I always give up half-way after 2 hours of mindlessly opening investment apps to copy-paste on my excel sheet.

I have been "trying" to make a Will for last 3 years and yet I don't have one.

We did a detailed consumer survey on this topic. In summary, just like you, I don't know how much money I have and I haven't done any legacy planning.

So now if I drop dead, post funeral, lets imagine how the situation would pan out:

  • My assets will go under probate and intestacy laws will kick in to determine beneficiaries and their inheritances, which may not align with my preferences. Even if I had a will, it is not of much use without a schedule of assets. Divide my apartment into 3?
  • There is no comprehensive record of what I have, so my family wouldn't know where are my assets or what liabilities I have left behind.
  • Accounts owned solely in my name would get immediately frozen during the probate process, which could take months and sometimes years. Joint accounts may also be subject to similar fate, depending on the bank.
  • I like to believe that I have adequate insurance coverage. Will my family know where the policies are? What to claim?
  • There will be no story of my emotional belongings for my children. No letters. Abrupt!

This is not just me - this mess belongs to 7/10 adults. As per consumer surveys, this worries YOU as much it worries me.

It doesn't have to be this way! I have come back together to solve for this very problem with my trusted industry colleague, Martin Pickrodt as my co-founder. Our mission is to make it easy to capture and preserve the most important aspects of our lives in a safe, organised way. This is the genesis of Teleskop.

Let this not be tomorrow's problem. Join me now to organise finances and protect legacies.

All the best for your new venture! One needs to plan for living too long or too short ! My dad (while he passed away early) - was very organised - all his investments were made with ease of legacy mgmt in mind - right from opening joint accounts with his 3 daughters, to leaving behind a will, to details of every investment listed down - in days when excel sheets were not so prevalent. It's a legacy he passed on to me & my sisters - it comes from truly loving your family beyond just yourself & your achievements - and wanting to leave behind a legacy that they won't need to sort out after you are no more. I made my own will years ago - and updated it at a later stage in life. Having executors to your will too is very key. Hope you are able to help all those women who have a fear of the words "finance & investments" & and all those who fear the word "wills"!!
