Estate Planning FAQs
1. What Is the Difference Between a Will and an Estate Plan?
A will is just one component of a comprehensive estate plan. It details what will happen to your assets and any minor children after your death. We recommend creating a will and other estate planning documents, such as a power of attorney and advance directive, to thoroughly express your wishes.
2. What Are the Inheritance Laws in Powell River?
Powell River’s inheritance laws are dictated by the Wills, Estates and Succession Act, which states that without a will, a person’s assets would be divided among their close relatives. Their spouse would receive a preferential share of the estate, while their children would split the remaining assets. Creating a will and trusts gives you much more control over the asset distribution process.
3. Do You Need a Lawyer to Make a Will in Powell River?
Hiring a lawyer to help you draft a will helps ensure the document is legally sound. Our Powell River family law lawyers can assist in creating a will and other estate planning documents that fully address your wishes for your estate.
