Movember: Taking care of your health and your legacy

Movember is more than moustaches; it’s a global movement encouraging men to take charge of their health, from physical wellbeing to mental resilience. 

Planning for the future and peace of mind

Research suggests that a significant number of adults in the UK don't have a Will. It’s understandable; thinking about illness or death isn’t easy. Yet failing to plan can leave loved ones facing stress, delays, and unnecessary costs.

What happens without a Will?

If you die without a Will, the law decides who inherits your estate. This might not reflect your wishes, especially if you have a partner but aren’t married or a blended family. A Will gives clarity and control, ensuring your assets go where you want.

LPAs: The forgotten essential

Movember highlights health risks like prostate cancer and mental health challenges. But what if illness or an accident leaves you unable to make decisions? An LPA allows someone you trust to manage your finances or health decisions on your behalf in the event that you aren't able to do so. Without one, your family may face lengthy court applications.

Estate planning as self-care

Just as regular check-ups prevent health crises, proactive estate planning prevents legal and financial crises. It’s about protecting your family, reducing stress and giving peace of mind.

While you’re thinking about your health, take a moment to think about your legacy, too.
