Wills & Estates

A Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney for Personal Care, and a Power of Attorney for Property, can provide you and your family with a peace of mind knowing that your personal care and property will be managed while you are alive in accordance with your wishes, and that your assets will be distributed in accordance with your wishes upon your death.

Last Will and Testament

Regardless of your age, martial status, finances, or health, it is important to plan for the future of estate and loved ones so that your wishes are adhered to. We offer an individualized client-focused approach to drafting your will.

Approximately 60% of Canadians do not have a will. If you are a part of that statistic, you will have no control over the distribution of assets - your estate will be distributed in accordance with Ontario's intestate laws, which may significantly differ from your wishes.

Power of Attorney for Personal Care

A Power of Attorney for Personal Care is a legal document which appoints another person or people to make your personal care decisions while you are alive and under very specific circumstances - examples include, but are not limited to decisions relating to:

- Healthcare

- Housing

- Other aspects of your personal life

If you do not have a Power of Attorney for Personal Care, your family may be able to make some decisions, but not all.

Power of Attorney for Property

A Power of Attorney for Property is a legal document which appoints another person or people to make decisions about your finances while you are alive and under very specific circumstances - examples include, but are not limited to decisions relating:

- Payment of bills

- Collection of money owed to you

- Maintaining and/or selling of your home

- Managing your investments

If you do not have a Power of Attorney for Property, your family, including your spouse, in most cases, cannot automatically make financial decisions on your behalf.
