Gifting will writing is a unique way to push estate planning to those who are either unaware of the need or are simply hesitant.

A will is a document where you write down a list of your assets and to whom you would like to pass it on, after your demise. It is not compulsory to have a computerised will; you could even write it with your hand and on a piece of a paper. If the person writing a will is old, financial planners and estate planning experts recommend getting a doctor’s certificate certifying that the testator (a person who has made or written the will) is of sound mind. A will is an important document that lays down a roadmap of how a testator’s assts are to be divided, in a frictionless way. For instance, among more than one children who might otherwise quarrel and go to courts to lay their hands on the estate of their deceased parent, in the absence of a will.

Financial planners and estate planning experts say that many people are hesitant to write a will because they think their assets would be passed on, while they are still alive.

“Our gift cards offer a respectful and educational way to initiate these crucial conversations. They are not just a gift, but a medium to bring awareness and understanding about the importance of Will writing and legacy planning in our daily lives,” said Chundi.

“These gift cards are an entry point for many to understand and take charge of their estate planning, ensuring peace of mind for themselves and their families,” he added.
