More often than not, broaching the subject of our passing or potentially becoming mentally incapacitated is a discussion many family members are not open to engaging in.
Yet dying is an event that is inevitable for each and every one of us – we are all going to die at some time in our life and as difficult or sensitive as it may be, it is our responsibility to have such discussions with family and close friends and to ensure that our final wishes concerning the distribution of our assets and our personal and medical care are understood and honoured by those close to us. The most appropriate time to document this is while we are still fit and healthy.
It is our responsibility to ensure that we have the necessary legal documents in place so that we are cared for as we would wish should we not be able to make decisions about our health care and so that our assets are used in precisely the way we want them to be.
