Being married made transparency about our responsibilities and assets feel non-negotiable - not just the what, but the why.

It’s definitely not easy approaching harder conversations like this but we rather have them now than leave each other scrambling for answers, or guessing at intentions later.

Hope this encourages you to have a conversation like this with your significant other / parents too 💛

Just got married. To many it’s the start of new life. Yet here we are talking about this - probably pantang in our parents era to bring up death in such a joyous season

Like i always advise: don’t follow the crowd. It always goes down to your needs: and yes we needed it.

Take note if your intention is to gift everything to your spouse.

This is on top of the prolonged administration time and complex paperwork while in grief

Imagine the asset flow…. Where does the older one’s assets ultimately go? Is it aligned with what you would want?

This one hits closer to home since we travel tgt often

It’s not about expecting the worst : it’s simply not leaving it to a formula neither of us chose

Planning in advanced is important because we want choices - to choose now rather than being forced to choose

I understand conversations like this are sometimes difficult to hold , I encourage you to start from small: send this to your partner if you dk where to start. & Feel free to dm me if you require guidance. 🫶🏻
