Busy getting your house in order for winter? This time of year can be hectic and we’re all guilty of letting things slip once in a while. But now is the perfect time to be pragmatic and prioritise some estate planning, especially with Christmas on the horizon when your thoughts turn to family.

A bit of savvy planning beforehand could save your family thousands and reduce the stress of bereavement.
