Have you set up a Power of Attorney? That’s a great start. But what if the person who needs to handle your affairs after you're gone can't access your phone?

In this eye-opening video, Martin Cavie from Chorus Accounting highlights a crucial oversight in modern estate planning — your mobile phone passcode. While Powers of Attorney give authority to act on your behalf, they don’t help if no one can unlock your digital life. From banking to photos, email to tax records — everything is now tied to that six-digit passcode.

Martin shares real-life insights and practical solutions — like the idea of a “breaking glass” email account — to make sure your trusted ones can step in when it matters most.

💡 Don’t let a forgotten passcode undo everything you’ve prepared.
