Complement your financial life plan with a will that legally specifies your wishes.
Wills are legal documents that outline your preferences regarding the distribution of property and other considerations upon your passing. Regardless of your personal wealth, a Will makes sure your personal belongings and assets go to the family members or beneficiaries you determine.
Drafting and solidifying a Will is not legally required. But, if you do not have one, the laws in your territory or province will dictate how your estate gets divided upon your death. No matter your circumstances, a Will is an essential component of your financial life plan. Not only can a will keep the government from deciding how your assets are distributed, but it can also help you make confident decisions that impact your business, taxation, and your family.
It is imperative upon the initial creation of your Will that you gain expert advice on the legal, financial, and tax implications of the specifications included in your will. Our trusted partners in Collingwood, Ontario will ensure your will is legally binding and that your strategy aligns with the elements included in your overall financial life plan and trust.
Wills are not a stagnant type of estate planning document and should be reviewed often. This will ensure your Will consistently reflects your current wishes and your financial state. Updating your Will is also imperative when you get married, divorced, or experience other major life changes.
Devise a Will that complements your wishes and protects your choices for asset division upon your passing. Start today by contacting us at BlueRock Wealth Management for additional information on drafting or updating a Will.
