Important things I learned about Personal Finance today

Cartoon businessmen labelled legal heir and nominee in a tug of war over a bag of money

- Setting Nominee(s) isn't enough. You need a WILL.

- If you do not have a WILL, your assets are distributed according to the rules of *the respective succession act which applies to your religion*

- A nominee is **not** a beneficiary, only a custodian of your assets. They are bound by law to distribute those assets to the rightful heir.

- WILL supersedes a legal heir certificate, though, so it is the single most important document which follows your *actual* wishes.

- You should do both Nominee and WILL.
