Last Will and Testament

What is a Will?

• A Will is created to determine what will happen
  to your property when you die.

Why is a Will Important?

• A  Will is a critical part of an estate plan.
  Everyone should create a Will to ensure, among
  other things, that
• Your property is distributed as you desire on
  your death.
• Your family has the ability to be financially
  sound when you die.
• You provide reassurance on how things are to be
  dealt with when you die, and your family feels
  less anxiety.
• The costs of administering your estate are
  reduced.
• If you have a business, the business will go to
  the persons you designate and how you wish the
  business to be dealt with.

Why use a lawyer to draft my Will?

• It is important to use a lawyer to draft your
  Will to ensure the Will reflects your wishes
  and that the Will is legal and meets the
  requirements of all applicable laws. Using a
  do-it-yourself kit may save you a few dollars at
  the beginning, but may cost your estate thousands
  of dollars in extra administration fees and
  potential litigation costs.

What are the Requirements to making a Will?

• In order to make a Will you should be an adult
  (the age of majority in B.C. is 19). You have to
  be mentally capable of managing your affairs.
• Your Will should be dated, and it should also
  be clear on who the executor or executors are and
  who the beneficiaries are. Your Will should
  determine who gets what.
• The Witnesses must be adults and not
  beneficiaries to the estate, or a spouse of a
  beneficiary.

What kinds of things should be included in a Will?

• A Will should have an executor, someone you trust
  who you appoint to be responsible for carrying
  out your wishes. 
• A  Will should clearly describe how your estate
  (i.e. your property) should be dealt with and to
  whom it should go and on what terms.
• It should be noted that an estate is defined as
  all assets (i.e. possessions) left by a person
  after his or her death.
• A Will should also include the type of funeral
  and burial arrangements you wish.

What are the costs of drafting a Will?

• The cost of drafting a Will is usually 295,
  however, as part of a Will Estate package which
  includes a Will, Advanced Health Care Directive,
  Representation Agreement and Enduring Power of
  Attorney, the fee is only 695 for all documents
  plus applicable taxes.
• These prices are contingent on you filling out
  the appropriate intake form for the type of
  document required such as a Will, Power of
  Attorney, Representation Agreement, Advance
  Directive or Trust.
