What is included in the Nova Scotia Estate Planning Package?


Designed specifically for residents of the Province of Nova Scotia, this convenient downloadable package includes all of these professionally prepared templates:

1. Nova Scotia Enduring Power of Attorney

The Enduring Power of Attorney form allows you to appoint a trusted person (your attorney) to manage your financial and property matters if you are unable or choose not to manage them yourself.

This document can help ensure that someone you trust has the authority to handle important financial and legal matters, including:

  • Managing bank accounts and investments
  • Paying bills and expenses
  • Handling real estate and property matters
  • Managing business and financial transactions
  • Generally managing your affairs, except for healthcare and personal care

An Enduring Power of Attorney is an important part of your estate plan because it allows you to choose who will act on your behalf rather than leaving decisions to be made without your input.

2. Nova Scotia Revocation of Power of Attorney Form

This Revocation of Power of Attorney form allows you to formally cancel a previously granted Power of Attorney.

Use this document when you want to terminate an existing appointment and no longer wish the named attorney to have authority to act on your behalf.

3. Nova Scotia Personal Directive

The Personal Directive (also called an Authority for Medical Treatment or Advance Health Care Directive) allows you to give instructions regarding medical treatment and personal care decisions, in the event you are not able to give those instructions at some point in the future.

You can address important healthcare and personal matters in this document, including:

  • Medical treatment preferences
  • End-of-life decisions
  • Housing, lifestyle, recreation and social activities
  • Personal care choices
  • Continuing care and support services

4. Legal Will Kit for Canada (Including Nova Scotia Requirements)

This comprehensive Canadian Legal Will Kit provides the information, instructions, and forms needed to prepare your own legally structured will.

The Canadian Will Kit package includes:

  • A customizable Last Will and Testament template
  • Step-by-step information and instructions to guide you through preparing your will
  • Guidance to help you complete your will correctly
  • Nova Scotia Affidavit of Execution of Will form as required by provincial laws
  • Comprehensive estate planning questionnaire

Creating a will allows you to:

  • Decide how your property and assets will be distributed
  • Name beneficiaries
  • Appoint an executor to administer your estate
  • Provide instructions regarding your final wishes
  • Help reduce uncertainty and stress for your family


Why do you need to prepare an estate plan?


Many people put off estate planning because they assume it is only necessary for older adults or people with significant assets. In reality, every adult can benefit from having documents that explain their wishes and appoint trusted decision-makers.

Without proper planning, your family may face additional stress, delays, or uncertainty when dealing with your financial affairs, health care decisions, or estate administration.

A complete Nova Scotia estate plan can help you:

  • Protect your family and loved ones
  • Maintain control over important decisions
  • Choose who manages your affairs if you cannot
  • Clearly communicate your wishes
  • Make future decisions easier for those close to you
