Planning for your future and the security of your loved ones is a significant step, and our firm provides clear guidance to help you navigate this process. We offer:
Estate planning exists far beyond simply drafting a will; it’s a dynamic process that evolves as your life does.
A comprehensive approach considers more than just the distribution of your assets, providing you with strategies for minimizing taxes, protecting inheritances, and planning for potential incapacity through powers of attorney and personal directives. It involves thoughtfully addressing complex family dynamics, potential business succession, and charitable giving to ensure your wishes are honoured precisely and your legacy is secured.
If you pass away without a valid will, your estate will be distributed according to provincial legislation. This means the government determines who will inherit your assets, which may not align with your wishes and can create complexities, delays, and additional costs for your loved ones.
An executor, or personal representative, is the individual you name in your will to manage and distribute your estate after your passing. Their role involves locating assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to your beneficiaries.
It’s advisable to review your estate plan regularly, ideally every few years or anytime a significant life event occurs. Major life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child or grandchild, the acquisition of substantial assets, or a change in health or financial circumstances should prompt a review of your will and any other estate documents.
