💼End-of-Life Planning – A South African Guide to Making Things Easier for Your Family 🇿🇦

Let’s talk about the thing no one wants to talk about – planning for what happens when we’re no longer here. 😬

Yes, it’s a heavy topic… but avoiding it can leave your loved ones with confusion, conflict, and serious financial stress at a time when the worst has already happened - they lost you!

In this episode, we unpack:

✅ How to write a valid South African will

✅ Funeral planning tips that respect culture and your wallet

✅ Protecting your money (estate duty, trusts, insurance, & more)

✅ How to have those important conversations with family

Whether you're 25 or 65, this is about love, clarity, and leaving peace behind – not paperwork and panic.
