Have you ever wondered if you can change your will without hiring a lawyer? The short answer is yes—sometimes. But just because you can doesn't always mean you should.

In this video, I explain when updating your will yourself might be okay, and when it's a good idea to get legal advice. ⚖️ Take a look, and if you have any questions, I'm always happy to help!

A will is like a roadmap; it guides the people you love when they need it most. Without one, the journey can become far more complicated than it needs to be.

A recent court decision sends a strong message to technology companies: executors shouldn't have to jump through unnecessary legal hoops to access a loved one's digital assets. The decision is encouraging for executors and beneficiaries, but it also highlights an important estate planning lesson: your digital assets matter.

✔️ Loyalty and rewards programs
✔️ Photos and cloud storage

What if you never make a will? It's a question many people put off, but the consequences can have a lasting impact on the people you care about most.

Without a valid will, the law decides how your estate is distributed, which may not reflect your wishes. In this video, I explain what happens and why having a plan in place is so important: https://youtu.be/NuoHJhwz9oI

Your pets aren’t “just pets”—they’re basically tiny, furry dependants with strong opinions 🐶

If something happens to you, do you know who’s taking over snack duty, walk negotiations, and emotional support services?

Including your pets in your will lets you choose someone you trust and leave clear instructions for their care; so they don’t end up in a guessing game later.

Most people assume a will is something they'll get around to eventually. But a few lesser-known facts might change how you think about it:

1. Certain assets may bypass your will entirely, depending on how they're owned.
2. A will doesn't just distribute assets—it can also name guardians for minor children.
3. Updating your will after major life events is just as important as creating one.
