A Little Bit Richer · Sort Your Life (and Death!) Out · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

And that is not to say that you necessarily need to get married, but it's all the more reason why you need to have a will in place. voice-verified

And let's talk about some of the other aspects of life and death admin. voice-verified

What else do we need to be thinking about to make life easier for our loved ones should we pass away? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

I have met people in the course of my work whose partners have passed away and they have sorted out all their affairs for their family, but one thing that was forgotten about, very understandably, was all their social media uh profiles and that meant that they were all still active and it was really hard for those families to get those shut down. voice-verified

And voice-verified

That doesn't have any monetary value per se, but actually still seeing that loved one on social media it can be quite distressing and it's something to definitely think about. voice-verified

Mm. voice-verified

And when it comes to certain products like pensions as well, is there any admin that we need to do there to make sure that the money goes to who we want it to go to? voice-verified

When we were thinking about this episode in advance, uh, it was quite difficult trying to come up with a title for that folder of documents that you need in order to to keep everything in place for your loved ones should you pass away. voice-verified

And we came up with the phrase peace of mind folder. voice-verified

Yeah, voice-verified

Um, because I think psychologically again it would be quite hard for people to go about creating that, you know, tomorrow when they've got so many other things that they need to think about in the here and now that they think are more pressing. voice-verified

So what would your advice be for anyone that is kind of putting that off? voice-verified

And am I right in thinking as well that there is a time of the year when you can get your will done for free as part of Free Wills month? voice-verified

And is there a kind of price range that you would advise people kind of look at in terms of voice-verified

This is what a will will typically cost. voice-verified

And if it's any more than that, that might be a bit too expensive. voice-verified
