Wills are important because they ensure that a person's assets are distributed according to their wishes after they pass away.
Without a will, the distribution of assets will be determined by provincial legislation, which may not align with the person's wishes.
Additionally, having a will can help minimize lengthy and costly family disputes.
It's never too early to consider getting a will or estate plan done.

Here are some life events that may trigger the need for a will or estate plan:
Marriage - If you're getting married, it's a good idea to get a will or estate plan done.
This is especially important if you have children from a previous marriage, as it can help ensure that they are provided for after you pass away.

Birth of a Child - If you have a child, you'll want to make sure that they are taken care of if something happens to you.
A will or estate plan can help ensure that your child is provided for and that their inheritance is managed responsibly.

Divorce - If you're getting divorced, it's a good idea to get your will or estate plan revised or redone.

Purchase of Property - If you own property, such as a house or investment property, it's important to have a will or estate plan in place to ensure that it's distributed according to your wishes.

Retirement - When you retire, you may have more time to focus on your estate planning.
This is a good time to review your will and estate plan and make any necessary updates.

Changes in Health - If you experience changes in your health, it's important to review your will and estate plan to ensure that your wishes are still relevant.
