Final Money Matters: Preparing for Death with Care

Did you know that 68% of people who handle estate planning and administration are women?  
 
On average, it takes more than 14 months to settle a deceased estate. For more complex cases, or when estates are not properly organised, the process can take years. Nominated executors often spend hours equivalent to a part-time job managing the administrative tasks associated with an estate. This can involve significant out-of-pocket expenses and time away from paid work, creating additional financial pressure for those left behind, all while navigating the grief that comes with losing a loved one. 
 
We know that talking about, or preparing for death can be hard. At WIRE, we believe that end-of-life financial literacy can help support women and gender diverse people feel more informed, prepared, and supported during this time.

We have collaborated with Herekind to explore practical steps we can take to financially prepare for death and reduce the burden on our loved ones. Whether you’re planning your own estate and wishes, or navigating the executor role, we hope this webinar makes those tough conversations a little easier.
