Where there's a Will...there's a way
Clare Sweeney
Think Professor X as a Social Value Whisperer- will help you identify the good stuff that you're doing or could be doing that should be making you money already...
So, making a will allows you to have the final say on what happens when you are gone. Perhaps not the cheeriest thought, but there's no escaping our final exit or ducking out of our swan song...so let's not slope off in silence. Let's leave nothing unsaid...
But, did you know –
Nearly two thirds of adults in the UK have not prepared a will. Scary but true.
Of the people that have?
1.5 million may have unknowingly made their will void by getting married.
Rather unsurprisingly, people’s top reason for not having a will is they
“just never got round to it.”
Which is a lot less of an excuse now, because there are a plethora of online tools that boast a binding legal document in as little as fifteen minutes.
Apparently it was Al Capone, much enamoured with opera, who grabbed his bodyguards coattails when they stood up to leave after just the first aria.
"Siddown," he growled, "it ain't over till the fat lady sings".
Well, ahead of our crucial or critical curtain call, let's make sure our affairs are in order so we've left our mark and everyone knows how to dance to our tune.
Here's just one example with an added bonus of supporting a good cause? https://bit.ly/OnlineWills
