During such a turbulent and uncertain time during Covid-19, let us get our financial planning in order. We could utilise this time towards doing something very important which most of us have been neglecting and procrastinating, that is, getting our financial documentation in order and setting our path towards working for financial freedom.
Unless we have all financial information in place, how do we really now, what is our current position, and would we really reach with respect to our financial goals, where we want to be?
Let’s make it easier for the family which is left behind in case of any eventuality happening. The family anyways goes through emotional stress in case of death. Why give them a financial trauma too if documentation is not set in order. Transmission needs to be done for the assets of a person after he or she passes away, and having it well documented will make the entire process easier.
We should maintain hard copies of these in separate folders labelled appropriately. We should also maintain scanned copies that are easily accessible, increase they need to be set somewhere as a soft copy, or if a print out needs to be taken.
We should set a schedule based on our own comfort but should be updated, at least on a yearly basis.
It should also be updated when you want to do a review, based on any changed circumstances in the family like birth, death, divorce, or anything significant.
