In this episode, we unpack the concept of “sadmin” - the emotional and often avoided financial tasks that matter most. From the Swedish idea of death cleaning to the practical importance of setting up a lasting power of attorney, we explore how getting your affairs in order can protect both you and your loved ones. We share personal insights, common pitfalls, and why these tough conversations are worth having sooner rather than later.

The information provided is for general guidance only and is not legal advice. You may wish to seek advice from a solicitor or qualified professional when setting up a lasting power of attorney. Circumstances vary and the right approach will depend on your personal situation.

Nothing in this podcast is personal advice. You should seek advice if you are unsure what is right for you. Investments can rise and fall in value, so you could get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a guide to the future. This content is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any investments or companies discussed. The Pershing Square Investment Trust can use derivatives and gearing, which increases the potential risk. The strategy is concentrated (not diversified), which implies higher risk. Individual stocks mentioned are not recommendations. Diversification is important, especially during volatile market conditions.
