What happens if you die without a will?

Passing away without a will is known as dying intestate. In this case, instead of you deciding how your estate will be managed and distributed, Provincial intestate succession laws will apply.

If you die without a will means:

- You cannot appoint an executor (a trusted person to administer your estate).
- You lose the ability to designate who inherits your assets.
- Your spouse or next of kin might not receive as much as you intended.
- You have no control over your funeral arrangements.
- You miss the opportunity to minimize taxes.
- You have no say in who will take care of your children.

Take control! Call us today.
