WILLSA Will built around your needs.
Name the people who will care for your children and manage your affairs, and make your wishes clear, so your loved ones face less stress during an already difficult time.
What a Will does
A Will is an important part of your Estate Plan, and it’s where several key decisions are put in place. We walk you through each one in plain language.
Main components of a Will include:
-
If you have children under 19, your Will is where you name a Guardian to care for them if you were to pass away. You can choose the person(s) best equipped to care for your loved ones.
-
Your Executor is the person you trust to manage your estate, gather what you own, pay any debts, and carry out your wishes. We also help you name an alternate in case your first choice can’t act.
-
Your Will sets out who inherits what you own in your own name, including specific gifts and what happens to the rest. Some assets pass outside your Will, such as a jointly held home or an account with a named beneficiary like life insurance or an RRSP. We help you make sure everything fits together.
If you don’t have a Will…
If you have minor children, you won’t have a say in who cares for them. The court appoints someone to administer your estate, which can take longer and add cost and stress for your family. BC’s intestacy rules decide who inherits what you own in your own name, in a fixed legal order that may not reflect your wishes, especially with a blended family or an unmarried partner.
