Other
things you might like to remember as you are thinking about events such
as these, is what are the "What If's" that could happen, and
which ones have you taken
action to ensure a good result?
Who would make your decisions if you
were unable to? [ Do you have an enduring
power of attorney?]
What decisions might you have to
make on behalf of your family members if one of them died suddenly? Do
you know their wishes? Is there money available to carry them out in
those circumstances? [Are your wills current
and funded?]
If you
received an inheritance tomorrow, would you lose more than you need to
through tax? [Have you investigated the
use of a testamentary trust, for your children and dependants -- and for
yourself if you are likely to inherit in the future?]
What
other "What-Ifs" are ones you need to have an " If That,
Then..." for?
