Did you know that only 35% of adults in the UK have made a will?
Trust me, I know from experience that it can be easy to put off writing your will. For a long time, I assumed that the process was complicated and expensive – and I had no clue where to start with it all. So I kept putting it further and further down my to-do list…
Then, after having my [daughter/son/children] I realised I finally needed to sort my estate out.
Thankfully I found Octopus Legacy, who made the whole process so easy.

I filled out a 2-minute quiz on their website and they showed me exactly how legally and financially prepared I was when it comes to estate planning. They gave me a score, which is like a credit score for death, and broke down what to do next step-by-step to improve it – which was super helpful.

I also jumped on a completely free call with one of their expert estate planners, called Danni. She was so friendly and answered all of my questions about my will (even the silly ones, like [insert silly question here e.g. what actually is a will]) and I felt so reassured about the whole process.
In the end, it took me around half an hour to write my will. Looking back now, I honestly can’t believe I’d been putting something off that was so easy.
