Wills and Power of Attorneys

Take control of your estate.

Many people delay writing their Will under the assumption that being young, or in good health or without dependants, justifies waiting. Contrary to popular belief, provincial intestate distribution rules do not result in the surviving spouse automatically receiving the entire estate. In fact, the estate distribution will most likely result in an outcome not intended by the deceased. In addition, the absence of a prepared Will invariably causes delays and extra expense for surviving loved ones.

A power of attorney (Mandate in Quebec) gives someone the authority to manage and govern your property and financial affairs while you are still living if you become incapable of doing so. There are also powers of attorney for personal care governing health and other life decisions. Everyone should have both. You will need to complete a legal document to appoint a power of attorney.
