The 2026 Life Audit
19 Jan 2026

Ready for the year ahead? A little “life audit” ensures you’re fully prepared and, with MiWayLife, easy to enjoy full peace of mind.

A new year is the perfect time for a life audit – a simple, honest check-in with yourself to make sure your personal, financial and family responsibilities are all up to date. It’s less about pressure and more about peace of mind, giving you the chance to reset, refresh and move confidently into 2026 knowing the important things are taken care of.

Start With Your Personal Admin

A life audit starts at home. Look at the things that often fall to the bottom of your to-do list, like renewing licences, updating emergency contacts, or checking whether your important documents are stored safely and easy to access. If you’ve recently moved, changed jobs or welcomed a new family member, it’s worth making sure all your details reflect these changes. Small updates now can save big headaches later.

Review Your Debit Orders & Subscriptions

The festive season has a way of distracting us from the monthly debits that keep rolling in. A fresh year is the ideal moment to scan through your statements and make sure everything still makes sense. Check that the services you’re paying for are still being used and that debit orders are running correctly. If something no longer serves you, cancel it and free up a little extra room in your budget for the year ahead.

Update Your Insurance & Beneficiaries

Your life changes – your cover should too. Take a moment to review your life insurance and funeral cover to see whether the amount of protection you have is still right for your family’s needs. Just as important is updating your beneficiaries. If you’ve had a change in relationship status, grown your family or simply haven’t looked at this section in years, updating your beneficiary list ensures your cover goes exactly where you intend it to.

Refresh Your Will & Estate Planning

Your Will is one of the most important documents you’ll ever create, yet it’s often overlooked. If you already have a Will, revisit it to make sure it still reflects your wishes and includes the right people. If you don’t have one yet, consider drafting one as part of your 2026 life audit. MiWayLife’s MiWill service makes it easy to draft a valid, legally recognised Will that can be safely stored online without complicated paperwork.

The Bottom Line

Life moves quickly, but your protection shouldn’t fall behind. MiWayLife makes it easy to review your life cover, change your cover amount and update beneficiaries – all with a few quick clicks! Taking a little time now to do your life audit means you can step into 2026 with clarity, confidence and the comfort of knowing you’re truly ready for the year ahead.
