What would happen if you died without a Will ? In British Columbia, your assets would be distributed in accordance with the Wills Estates Succession Act which was introduced in April 2014. This could be completely different from how you want your assets to be distributed. Also, you may think that you don't have to bother with a will if you do not have children and have all your assets with " right of survivorship" to your spouse. However, what if you and your spouse died together while traveling ? Again the assets that you have built up with your spouse may end up with unintended beneficiaries. In any case, you are encouraged to seek advice of a Notary Public whom you can trust. Let us help you settle your estate the way you truly want it to be settled.
