Part 4: Common problems encountered with the winding up of a Deceased estate

‼️ Make sure that you have a file/list with ALL your assets and liabilities, income tax number and Original Will‼️

Let your loved one’s know where to find your file! Contrary to popular belief there is no system where you simply punch in a deceased’s ID number and all their policies/assets/liabilities show up😱

😢Leaving your loved one’s in the dark is one of the BIGGEST problems when you pass away. 😥
Unfortunately no one likes addressing this issue but when you pass away will your heir(s) know what is in your estate?

Tasking your executor to contact various financial institutions to trace assets or liabilities will delay the winding up of your estate. (Like searching for a needle in a haystack)
