Yes.

Typically, people start actively planning for their death when they have a compelling reason to do so…

> a terminal diagnosis

> a recent reminder of their own mortality by someone else’s illness or passing

> a complex or changing circumstance which makes it pragmatic and sensible to do so.

In reality, to plan for your (inevitable) Ultimate Exit is an equally practical and loving act if you are fit and in your prime. This process is as much about creating peace of mind for the present as it is about preparing for the future.

One client, self-employed parent of young children, said this:

"Planning for your own death is one of the most important things you can do to live lightly and freely today."
