S2 E7 - Why you need a Will, with special guest Claire Earwaker dos Reis

In this episode, I interview Claire Earwaker dos Reis, a will writer and Estate Planner from Expression Wills.

Claire and I had a really open chat about her journey to will writing, and her story was brave and beautiful. 

We also talked about those all important questions that all our listeners need to know:

• What is a will? 
• Who needs a will, when do you need to think about getting one? 
• What happens to my estate if I don't have a will?
• What are the reasons for having a will?
• Wills aren’t regulated, what does this mean?
• Where should I store my will? 
• What’s the cost of having a will written?
• What are the dangers of writing my own will? 
• How do I go about arranging a will?

Claire says - "End of life planning is not the most sexy or glamorous of subjects, but it is such an important, but often neglected task. My passion is to create a safe space for people to explore their options and voice their concerns without being pushed into making decisions. Education comes first in providing people with the right knowledge so that hold the power to make their own decisions about what is right for them and their family without the pressure of a “quick sale”. I am also passionate about challenging the stereotypes typically associated with the industry and to bring will writing back in to the 21st century."
