Wills & Power of Attorney

If you think putting off a Will or Power of Attorney is a smart move, you may be setting yourself up for trouble down the road. In many ways, “failing to plan is the same as planning to fail”. A properly drafted Will hands you control over where your assets go and makes sure a trusted executor properly administers your wishes. Meanwhile, Powers of Attorney (for property and personal care) give you the peace of mind that if you’re ever sidelined, the right people are handling your finances and healthcare decisions.

Now, let’s talk about the top five things you absolutely cannot afford to ignore:

  1. Choosing the Right Executor or Lawyer
    Do not leave your affairs to someone who can’t handle the pressure. Pick a person who is trustworthy, organized, and has what it takes to make tough calls.

  2. Clarity and Specificity
    Be precise about who gets what, how, and when. Vague instructions can turn a straightforward estate into a “legal circus”.

  3. Regular Updates
    Life changes fast: marriages, divorces, new family members. Keep your Will and Powers of Attorney current so no one is guessing your intentions when it really matters.

  4. Tax and Probate Implications
    A smart plan factors in taxes and probate fees. You don’t win by giving more money to the government than you have to. Structure your estate so your beneficiaries keep the lion’s share.

  5. Legal Requirements and Formalities
    Every province has its own rules, and you do not want to get tripped up on a technicality. Work with a lawyer who can simplify the process for you and do the job effectively.
