Wills + Estate planning

wills and estate planning

You have worked hard to provide for your loved ones. Protect your family and your legacy by ensuring that you document your wishes. Having a will and health care directive in place will ensure your loved ones have clarity rather than confusion.

Anyone with financial assets that they solely own can document their wishes in the event of death through a will. A health care directive provides loved ones and medical staff with direction on medical care should you be unable to offer it at the time. You might also want to designate a power of attorney to make financial and health decisions on your behalf.

Wills + Estate planning FAQ

At our first meeting, we will discuss your goals and what to consider when drafting your will.

You will need to decide who you would like to be your power of attorney, the executor of your will, and your healthcare proxy (decision maker). One person can perform all of these roles, or you might choose three different people. It’s important to select a backup person in case your first choice is unable to perform their duties.

You will also need to make a list of all of your assets, investments (bank accounts, RRSPs) and how you want to divide them upon your death.

My fee for a simple will (including a power of attorney and healthcare directive) is $650.00 plus taxes and disbursements. An example of a simple Will would include leaving your assets to your spouse first and then your children equally.  My fee for anything that requires special or complicated drafting is $275.00 per hour.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, you can let me know via our contact options.
