Sport and Will Writing: An Unlikely but Valuable Comparison
At first glance, sport and Will Writing might seem worlds apart. After all, one involves physical prowess and competition, while the other is about careful planning and legal expertise. However, when you dig a little deeper, the two share some surprising parallels. Both require teamwork, strategy, and a focus on achieving the best outcome, whether for a match (or game), or your family’s future.
While the team at SLS Wills and More may not be massive sports fans, we can appreciate the lessons sport offers when it comes to decision-making and preparation. (That said, Sara does have a soft spot for sailing, there’s something inspiring about navigating the open water, using skill and foresight to reach your destination.)
Let’s explore the similarities between sport and Will Writing, and how lessons from the pitch, court, or sea can help you approach your estate planning with confidence.
Strategy is Key
In sport, a solid strategy often separates the winners from the losers. Athletes and coaches analyse the opposition, plan their moves, and adapt when circumstances change. The same applies to Will Writing.
Creating a Will is about planning ahead, considering what might happen and making thoughtful decisions about how your estate should be handled. Just as a sports team plans for various scenarios, you’ll want to account for life’s uncertainties, such as changes in family dynamics or tax regulations. At SLS Wills and More, we’re here to help you develop a clear strategy that reflects your wishes and safeguards your loved ones.
Women Lead the Way
It’s no secret that in many households, women take the lead in important decision-making, and Will Writing is no exception. According to our findings, the majority of financial and estate planning decisions are driven by women. Whether it’s arranging LPAs (Lasting Powers of Attorney) or making provisions for children and grandchildren, women are often at the forefront of ensuring everything is in place.
This mirrors trends in sport, where women’s participation and leadership are steadily rising. From team captains to trailblazing athletes, women are shaping the future, just as they do when it comes to estate planning.
If you’re a woman leading the charge in your family’s planning, we applaud you. Let SLS Wills and More be your trusted partner in creating a Will that secures your legacy.
The Team Behind the Scenes
In both sport and Will Writing, teamwork is essential. A successful athlete might be the star on the field, but they rely on coaches, trainers, and analysts to guide them. Similarly, when drafting your Will, it’s vital to have a knowledgeable team behind you to ensure everything is done correctly and in line with the law.
At SLS Wills and More, we act as your coach and support team, guiding you through the complexities of estate planning and ensuring that no detail is overlooked. Just like a top-tier sports team, we’re focused on achieving the best result for you and your family.
Preparation Wins the Day
Athletes train relentlessly because they know preparation is the foundation of success. The same applies to Will Writing. Putting off your Will might feel like an easy option, but it leaves you unprepared, and your loved ones vulnerable.
By taking the time to write a Will, you’re doing the equivalent of training for a major event. You’re ensuring that when the time comes, everything is in place and your wishes are clear. The peace of mind this brings is invaluable, not only for you but also for those you care about.
Don’t Leave It to Chance
In sport, as in life, leaving things to chance rarely pays off. Whether you’re tackling a tricky course or navigating the complexities of inheritance tax, careful planning ensures you’re ready for whatever comes your way.
At SLS Wills and More, we’re not sporting champions, but we are experts in Will Writing, LPAs, and estate planning. Just like a good coach helps an athlete achieve their potential, we help you secure your family’s future.
