Complete Legal Will Kit for Canadians
Every Canadian who owns property or assets should make a will. Your will is the cornerstone of your estate plan.
Why should I make a will?
If you were to die intestate (without a valid Will), your loved ones will have to pay court costs and legal fees to administer your estate. They already have enough to deal with after your passing - you can spare them the extra expense and trouble by making a will.
If you have children or dependents, you can make provisions in your will for their support and care. You can establish a trust for minor children and instruct your executor how and when to pay out the trust to them as they become adults.
If you own real estate or other assets, whether in Canada or outside of the country, making a will ensures that your property is distributed in accordance with your wishes, and not as the court decides.
