The two Ds – death and divorce

In this episode, Kate is joined by the founder of Octopus Legacy, Sam Grice to discuss death and divorce.

About the episode:

Kate and Sam begin this episode by looking at Sam’s story. They explore the concept of grief and how it connects with the loss felt during a divorce or separation, as well as other aspects of the emotional journey.

They look at the legal steps required after loss and the idea that you need to update your will whenever there’s a life change, like a divorce or separation.

About our guests:

Sam Grice is the founder of Octopus Legacy. In 2017, Sam's Mum died suddenly in a car accident, the process that followed was overwhelming, and the grief was made much harder by the tedious hours of paperwork, and legal admin that comes after a loss.

Sam founded Octopus Legacy to make life easier for the people who are left behind after someone dies.

Octopus Legacy has since helped over 300,000 people plan for death and find support after a loss. They offer a range of estate planning services from wills to life insurance, as well as probate and bereavement support. When people think about planning for death they think about writing a will, sorting a funeral plan, and taking out life insurance. Octopus Legacy aims to take these cold processes and turn them into something much more human, inviting you to share more than money.
