Loading player...
Setting up your will alone isn’t enough with respect to real estate planning. You also need to review said will annually to accommodate changes in your life.

With National Wills Week now well and truly behind us, the conversation around estate planning will fall to the back burner, but the reality is it shouldn’t. Not planning your estate could result in you dying intestate with your assets landing in the hands of those you did not intend on handing them to.
