Your Plan. Your Legacy. Your Family Protected.

A will is the foundation of every estate plan — but it's not the whole picture. Good estate planning ensures that your assets go where you want them to, your family is provided for, and the people you trust are in charge of carrying out your wishes.

Without a valid will in British Columbia, the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) determines who inherits your estate — and the result may not be what you would have chosen. A proper estate plan avoids that uncertainty entirely.

What Estate Planning Includes

• Wills — Direct where your assets go, name an executor, and appoint guardians for minor children

• Powers of attorney — Ensure someone you trust can manage your finances if you're incapacitated

• Advance care directives and representation agreements — Set out your wishes for health care and personal decisions if you can't speak for yourself

• Beneficiary designations — Review and coordinate designations on RRSPs, TFSAs, life insurance, and pensions so they align with your will

• Tax and probate planning — Structure your estate to minimize probate fees and tax exposure where possible

When to Update Your Will

Life changes — and your will should change with it. You should review your estate plan after:

• Marriage, separation, or divorce

• The birth or adoption of a child

• Buying or selling a home or business

• A significant change in your financial situation

• The death of a named executor or beneficiary
