For Those Left Behind: The Gift of Will Writing with Sam Grice, Founder of Octopus Legacy

Let's talk about will's baby!In this week's episode, I'm talking with Sam Grice, founder of Octopus Legacy. Sam founded Octopus Legacy after his Mum died in a car accident. She died suddenly and didn’t have a plan in place. As a lot of us have learnt the hard way, losing someone you love is tough enough, without everything else that comes with it. Sam and his family had to deal with the shock and grief that came with her death, as well as navigating mountains of legal admin and financial paperwork, all when it was needed the least.It was overwhelming, and Sam knew he wasn’t alone. So he set up Octopus Legacy, to try and solve the problem for other families like his. Now Octopus Legacy, which is part of the Octopus group, helps people plan for death and find support after loss - to make life that little bit simpler for those of us left behind after someone dies. All with the mission of making life easier for those of us left behind, to free up space so we can focus on what matters.Octopus Legacy is a place to plan for death and find support after a loss. They’ve partnered with charities across the UK, so that you can update your will for free, until November 6th. You can write your will in whatever way suits you best: online, over the phone or face-to-face. The cost of the will is covered by whichever charity you choose – many choose to leave a gift to charity as a thank you, but it isn’t required to claim the offer. No matter what assets you have or your situation, having a will helps to save time, money, and stress for the people you leave behind.
