Wills and Estates It's never too early to start thinking about the importance of will and estate planning. Creating a will and an estate plan gives you and your family peace of mind, Without a proper will, your estate will be distributed according to provincial legislation, which may not align with your wishes. Also, without a power of attorney and personal directive, decisions about your estate and personal care while you are alive, but lacking legal capacity, may be made by others or by the courts. If you have any questions about Wills & Estates, contact HGA Law or visit them online at www.HGALaw.ca.
