Her legacy matters: Women and the power of a Will

Loading player...
No two women’s lives look the same. Whether you’re single, a mother, a spouse, a partner, guardian or a caregiver, you may carry financial and family responsibilities that require careful planning.

In this episode of Own What’s Yours, Harry Joffe, Head of Legal Services at Discovery Life, speaks to Kashmeera Kanji, Head of Distribution Strategy and Market Analytics at Discovery Life about the importance of holistic estate planning for women. They unpack how poor planning, no valid Will or an estate without enough money can affect minor beneficiaries, and the loved ones left behind.

As your life changes, so do your responsibilities, priorities and the legacy you want to leave behind. That’s why estate planning should reflect your life today and the people who matter most to you.
