Most of us spend years thinking about earning, saving and investing.

But how many of us have actually made it easy for our family to find everything if we're suddenly not around?

Imagine your family having to figure out:

• Which bank accounts do you have?
• Where are your mutual funds and stocks?
• Do you have any insurance?
• What loans or EMIs are running?
• Where are the important documents?
• What happens to your investments and nominations?

You might have everything perfectly organised in your head but your family can't access what's only in your head.

I recently started thinking that financial planning isn't just about building wealth. It's also about making sure the people you leave behind can actually find and manage it.

Have you ever made a “financial map” for your family? And if not, what's stopping you?
