Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an Estate Plan?
An Estate Plan can provide peace of mind that trusted individuals can look after you if you are not able to do that for yourself, then after passing, it ensures your assets are distributed in the way you would want.
What is in an Estate Plan?
An Estate Plan is a collection of documents that can manage, if needed, your health and finances prior to death (Powers of Attorney for Health & Property) and after death (Will) specifies how you want your assets to be distributed.
Why should I have a Will?
Upon death, a Will ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. If you die without a Will (Intestate) then your assets will be distributed according to guidelines as set out by each province.
Such guidelines might result in distributions that would be unacceptable if the Testator (creator of the Weill) knew what the outcome would be.
What is an Executor?
An Executor (F: Executrix) is the individual(s) named in the Will to ensure the directions in the Will are carried out.
