The Manifestation of the love you desire begins with the relationship you have with yourself.
Ep15 Kieran Hoare - Merthyr Law
Lawyer
Australians don’t like to talk about death and dying. She’ll be right mate tends to be the catchphrase…. And that’s probably why over 60% of Australians are dying without a will. That number includes people who have incorrect wills as well as those who don’t have a will at all. Although managing these details can seem daunting, and even depressing, Estate planning is essential for seniors and for their family members to be prepared in the event of a loved one’s illness or passing.
So if you or an aging loved one, have been putting off estate planning, stick around for today's episode, as Kieran Hoare of Merthyr Law gives us all why’s, what for’s, why not’s, and how to’s. You’ll see that with adequate understanding and planning, the focus will be taken off the negative, and shifted to the positive benefits of Estate Planning.
