When someone says to me, “Do you do wills? I think I need one. My answer immediately is always a resounding yes! Yes, you do need one, and we can do that.”

‍

Even if your estate is simple, the will does something far more important than only dictate who gets what. It authorizes a person to get everything, or anything for that matter, accomplished.

‍

Without a will, nobody has authority to speak for the estate. This can be problem for landlords, companies, banks, the provincial government, the federal government, property taxes, ICBC and more.

‍

Not to mention, good estate planning includes more than just drafting a will. It includes a complete analysis of what you own, how you own it and what you hope to achieve with it. We can organize your assets to try reduce or eliminate fees and taxes that can be triggered when a person dies. So, yes, we do wills and, yes, you need one.
