Peace of mind:Preparing your Affairs for the Future

Without wanting to be too brutal about it, dying is a question of “when” not “if”. This course aims to provide you with information and tips to make the process of dealing with your affairs so much easier for whoever the task falls to. 

So much of our lives is online these days and it is very possible your loved ones could never know about (…or be able to access!) a savings account, investment or pension which should form part of your estate. 

Have you ever thought about what might happen if you were incapacitated and unable to make important life decisions in the future? Do you have a will in place? Have you ever thought about funeral arrangements? 

This course helps you get these things (and many others) in order, and in turn help your loved ones.

“I'm going to sleep better at night as a result of this course!”

Peace of mind is a four-week long course, with worksheets provided each week to complete during and after each call. Join weekly hour long video calls of explanation and discussion, including time to make a start on putting your information and thoughts together in the worksheets.

Once your worksheets are completed, you’ll have a useful document for your loved ones to work from when you die and also have put together information to help you put a will and Lasting Power of Attorneys in place.

The course costs £99 Including access to four sessions and relevant worksheets.

    Sam Kennedy Christian

  • I loved taking time to think about what I can do to make things easier for the family. It's like looking after your gut bacteria, not very thrilling but you feel better for it

    Lucie

  • I knew that I needed to get my affairs in order since I lost my Dad, but had been procrastinating for years as it was just too hard to think about. Ola breaks down these tough concepts in a very pragmatic way to reduce the overwhelm and clarify what needs to be done. Highly recommend!

  • Ola's Peace of Mind: Preparing your affairs for the future course was really helpful in showing me what I need to have in place for my family and my business in the event that something happens to me and I am unable to manage my affairs or am no longer around to do so. She delivered it compassionately with an understanding that some of these subjects are emotionally challenging to think about.

  • Ola's course summarised all the things we should all be thinking about to get organised and make life easy for our loved ones after our death, covering both legal documents like wills and power of attorney, but also decisions that we can make in advance and conversations we ought to have. A sobering topic, but one we shouldn't ignore.

    Sam

  • Planning for the future has always seemed so daunting to me which is why I had done nothing about it up until now. Thankfully the course was exactly the kick up the backside that I needed. Ola's delivery of the course struck the perfect balance between sensitivity and action. Each session incorporated time to work through the worksheet and start the process of planning rather than leaving to after the session. Absolute genius course - thank you!

  • I didn't realise how enlightening the 'Preparing for the Future' course would be! So much useful, thought provoking information yet delivered in a manageable and positive way by Ola. It's prompted me to be a grown up and get on with things that will make life easier for my loved ones and I actually enjoyed gathering all the useful information - like creating the ultimate handover. Highly recommend this course.
