WILLS AND ESTATES

THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN

protect your estate with our Wills and Estates packages

We know it is uncomfortable thinking about death, and you have a million other things on your to-do list before end-of-life planning makes it into the priority column. Your last will and testament is an essential tool in strategic life planning, and an important document no matter what stage of life you are in.  Outlining your final wishes on how you want to distribute your assets, leave specific gifts, set up an inheritance, care for your children or pets, and desired funeral plans is just as important a decision as what you have on your daily to-do list. 

Major Milestones that Signal it’s time for a Will, or an update:

  • Marriage or Common-Law Partnership
  • Divorce 
  • having a child
  • adopting a pet
  • purchase or ownership of a major asset
  • purchase of property
  • owning a business
  • having investments

You get to decide who the right person is to make decisions for you.
