These are the Top 3 reasons for planning, according to Age UK:

1. Save family the burden.
2. Peace of mind
3. We’re all going to die!

Final Fling’s survey of users shows why we’re a bit rubbish:

1. It never feels urgent – I’ll get to it tomorrow, next week
2. I never have enough time
3. I’m not sure what I want.

One good thing, not a single person was fazed by the thought of planning because they found death a taboo.

Need persuading?

See our short film to hear about the benefits of planning ahead.

• fear of death and dying
• lack of knowledge about the options
• not knowing when death will occur; not urgent
• more pressing financial priorities
• superstition: “tempting fate” “if I plan it’ll jinx me”, “making a Will is asking for it”
• denial: “it’ll never happen to me”
• concern that it can’t be done without high legal or other fees
• don’t have anything worth leaving

Exactly. Rubbish reasons.
