In this episode of the Money Gains Podcast we welcome Sam Grice... Founder and CEO of Octopus Legacy... to the show.

After losing his mum suddenly at 27, Sam found himself buried in the admin, decisions and family fallout that come after a death. Now he helps people sort it before it's needed.

We get into what really happens to your money and your home if you die without a will, why so many families end up falling out, and Sam walks me through writing my own will live on the show.

✅ Why my partner of nearly 10 years would get nothing if I died without a will, and why my share of our home would go to my parents instead
✅ What the law actually decides if you die without a will, including the £322,000 rule for married couples
✅ Why getting married cancels your will, and what divorce does to it
✅ Why Martin Lewis says power of attorney is arguably more important than a will
✅ How to choose an executor, why you don't have to do it if you're asked, and why leaving everything to an 18-year-old can backfire
✅ How leaving 10% to charity can cut the inheritance tax rate on your estate
