EPISODE 13 - Wills and Insurance

It is easy to accumulate your wealth, make that smart investment and be set to enjoy life. But not many people prepare for when it all ends.

Yet it's a truth that you cannot escape from – death.

Clifford Wong

Leong Yung Chang, Lawyer, Veritas Law Corporation

What if tomorrow or today was your last day? Are you mentally prepared for it? Have you got all your assets accounted for?

Writing a will is usually deemed as a taboo subject in our conservative Asian society. Few talk about it or even think about it. On top of that, writing of a will seems to be associated with the rich or the old.

Yet the more investments you have got, the better prepared you should be. Lin Xueling speaks with a young person who is interested in writing his will and seeks advice from a family lawyer on the nuts and bolts of writing a will.

James Sim, Honorary Secretary, Financial Planners Association of Singapore

Hitesh Shah, Chief Marketing Officer, Prudential

Lin Xueling speaks with two experts to find out what we should focus on when we buy our insurance.
