The “I’ll Do It Later” Problem - Why delaying your estate planning could cost more than you think – and how Perry Road Legacy makes it easier than ever to start now

We hear it all the time:“I know I need to sort this... but I’ll do it later.”

Estate planning is one of those things that sits quietly on the to-do list, rarely urgent enough to demand your attention – until it is. And by then, the opportunity to plan might have passed.

At Perry Road Legacy, we understand the hesitation. Life is busy, the process feels overwhelming, and let’s face it – talking about wills and powers of attorney isn’t how most people want to spend their time. But the truth is, deferring these decisions leaves your future – and your family's – open to uncertainty.

Why people put it off

It’s not just you. We all do it. Some common reasons people delay estate planning:

• “I’m too young for this.”

• “I don’t have enough assets to make it worth it.”

• “It’s too complicated and time-consuming.”

• “I’ll do it once I buy a house / get married / have kids / retire…”

The reality? You don’t need a certain income, property, or milestone to start. You just need clarity, guidance, and a system that makes the process straightforward.

What happens when you wait too long

When no plan is in place:

• Your loved ones may face confusing legal processes, including court battles or unexpected tax burdens.

• If you’re ever unable to make decisions for yourself, no one may be legally allowed to step in on your behalf.

• Children and dependents may be left without clear guardianship.

• Digital assets and online accounts can become inaccessible or lost altogether.

These aren’t theoretical risks – they’re real situations we’ve seen time and again. Planning early helps avoid chaos later.
