In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome
Doraisamy is joined by Morgan Collens, a paralegal at Nevile & Co
Commercial Lawyers in Melbourne, to discuss what she has learnt
about the need for the next generation of legal professionals to
take control of their personal and financial futures, specifically
by ensuring they have a will and testament in place.
Ms Collens discovered her passion for wills and estates while
working with lawyers. She emphasises the importance of considering
wills and estates early in one’s career, particularly for the
younger generation, including members of the queer community who
may have unique challenges in estate planning.
She highlights the need to view oneself as a client and to list all
assets, even small ones like bank accounts or share portfolios, to
ensure a smoother transition for loved ones after one’s
passing.
