Getting a legal Will done, or in other words, obtaining an Insurance Policy to protect your family and your assets, allows you to plan for the future, safeguard your loved ones, and ensure your money and possessions go to those you wish to benefit from them.
Everyone of legal age should consider creating a last will. Yet, regrettably, statistics across Canada indicate:
Only 40% – 50% of adults have a proper, legal Will.
POSITIVES – Having a Will
Ø A properly executed Will reduces future stress and confusion for loved ones.
Ø Knowing your Estate will be managed by a competent and trusted Executor advisor.
Ø You have chosen who will inherit your assets.
NEGATIVES – Not Having a Will
Ø Your wishes are not known, and the courts will decide the outcome.
Ø A lot of stress and confusion is placed on your loved ones.
Ø No guarantee of who will inherit what.
