In November 2022, my husband passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He was just 50, fit, healthy, and full of life. If you had asked him whether his affairs were in order, he would have smiled and said, “Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen to me.” But life had other plans.

In the weeks that followed, I experienced first-hand the emotional and practical challenges that arise when plans are not in place for the unexpected. I was surrounded by paperwork, unsure where things were or what to do next,  all while trying to cope with overwhelming grief. It was a very difficult and lonely time.

Out of that experience, I created a simple document for my children, one place for all the key details of our life, should anything ever happen to me. I updated my Will to protect their inheritance and set up Lasting Powers of Attorney for all of us, so that whatever happens, we can always make the right decisions for one another.

Since then, I have seen many others face the same struggles, trying to piece everything together at the worst possible time. I decided that no one should have to face that additional stress in the middle of grief.

This is why I created Your Life List.

And now, as a qualified Estate Planner, I help people take control of their future with confidence and peace of mind. My approach is personal, practical, and centred around you. I take the time to understand your wishes, explain your options clearly, and make sure everything is prepared properly and with care, so you and your loved ones can feel secure about the future.

Your Life List is more than paperwork, it is peace of mind. A simple, secure way to get organised, protect what matters most, and support those closest to you when they need it most.
