In this episode of “Your Telecom Retirement,” we embark on a time-traveling adventure through the world of wills and estate planning.
We begin our journey in the stone halls of 13th-century England with the signing of the Magna Carta. This document established the principle that no one, not even the king, is above the law.
Over the centuries, this principle evolved and led to the concept of personal property rights, which eventually gave rise to wills.
Today, we find ourselves in the living rooms of retirees, where the legacy of this principle still lives on, but wills and their necessity are often misunderstood.
