Helping You Write Your Will in Orleans and East Ottawa
Your will is a legal document that states your final wishes for your property, debts and other assets. It contains simple instructions to tell the court to whom your assets will go after you die. You will also need to detail who your executor is, the person who ensures your will is carried out.
Without a will in place at the time of your death, your assets will
be dispersed at the whim of the local government, which may not align with
your actual wishes. You can bequeath your goods to particular family and
friends, but a properly drawn out will should have provisions in place for
underage or disabled beneficiaries as well. Galarneau & Associates
Professional Corporation can help you ensure all necessary provisions are
in place.
Guiding You Through Estate Planning
While you may think of those with estates to be an exclusive group, almost everyone has an estate. Your estate is made up of everything you own, including your:
3
-
Cars
-
Home
-
Bank accounts
-
Investments
-
Furniture
-
Life insurance
-
Personal possessions
Estate planning is the process of determining what happens to these things when you pass away. On a basic level, estate planning entails planning in advance and naming whom you want to receive your possessions. Still, it also involves naming guardians and inheritance for minor children, providing for your business’s transfer at your retirement and much more.
