​

What is Estate Planning?
 

Estate planning involves preparing for the management and distribution of your assets in the event of death or incapacity. A well-structured estate plan can minimize taxes, avoid probate, and ensure that your wishes are carried out efficiently and in accordance with British Columbia estate law.

​

Our  Estate Planning services are as follows:
 

Wills

​

• A will is a legally binding document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your passing. It also allows you to appoint an executor to manage your estate.

• Having a valid will in British Columbia is crucial for ensuring your wishes are respected and simplifying the probate process.

​

Powers of Attorney

​

• A Power of Attorney (POA) allows you to appoint someone to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

• This document is vital for protecting your financial affairs and ensuring they are managed according to your wishes.

​

Representation Agreements

​

• A Representation Agreement enables you to designate someone to make personal and health care decisions for you if you are unable to do so.

• This ensures that your medical and personal care preferences are legally documented and honored.

 

The Importance of Estate Planning​
 

• Protecting Your Loved Ones: A clear estate plan ensures that your loved ones are financially secure and that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

• Minimizing Taxes and Fees:  Proper estate planning can help reduce estate taxes and legal fees associated with probate in British Columbia.
