If you die without a Will, provincial law will determine how your property
is distributed.
If you are survived by dependant children and have not
chosen a guardian, the Courts may make decisions concerning the welfare
of your dependant children.
If you have not appointed a personal representative to
control your affairs and you are rendered mentally incapable of making
your own decisions, then a stranger may be appointed to act on your
behalf.
The cost of preparing the appropriate documentation to ensure that these
important decisions are made by you is significantly less than the financial
and emotional price that may be paid by your loved ones if these matters
must be decided by someone else.
Our firm can assist you in the preparation and execution
of your Will, Personal Directive, and Enduring Power of Attorney, and
can provide you with advice regarding trusts and other estate matters
including how to obtain probate and how to contest the Will if you are
a beneficiary or have been excluded as a beneficiary.
