Why you've been avoiding this, and the hour it actually takes. The will and what it covers, what it doesn't, DIY versus lawyer. Power of attorney and advance care directive, what they are, when they kick in. Super and life insurance, why your will doesn't cover them and how binding nominations work. The letter to your family — practical (passwords, accounts, where things are) and personal. The review schedule and what triggers an update. Australian-context. Short, sharp, finite.
