Beverly Carter Notary Public I believe in building a reputation on integrity and trust while offering people the highest quality

Much of her success stems from real-life experiences including teaching elementary school, small business ownership, and senior government executive combined with her ability to empathize and listen to her clients’ needs, and help them to understand in practical terms. This keen ability combined with enthusiasm and knowledge provides her clients with the confidence and trust they seek when making important decisions around personal legal matters – selling or buying a house, making a Will, appointing a power of attorney, selecting the right estate executor, creating a living will, notarizing and sending documents to other countries.

You saved for their education. But have you planned for what happens to the RESP itself if you die?
It's one of those estate-planning questions many people don't realize they need to ask.

The child or grandchild named as beneficiary isn't necessarily the person who simply takes over managing the RESP if the subscriber dies. This is exactly why preparing a Will involves more than deciding who gets what.

At Carter Notary, we ask about the bigger picture - your family, your assets, and the arrangements you've put in place. Because sometimes it's the thing you hadn't thought about that leads to the most important conversation.

Have an RESP? Add this question to your estate-planning checklist: “What happens to it if I'm not here?”

Call Carter Notary for your estate planning needs. (250) 383-4100

**This social media post is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice regarding your particular circumstances. Carter Notary provides estate planning services in British Columbia. Every estate and RESP is different. Questions about the operation of a particular RESP should be directed to your RESP provider or appropriate financial professional. Please consult your RESP provider or appropriate financial professional regarding the specific terms and requirements of your plan.

From personal experience, we have seen the shock of unexpected events, the lack of a Will, improper planning, and the financial and emotional impact on family and loved ones.

Fortunately, we have also seen the opposite. We know how a well-prepared Will protects and ensures surviving loved ones are treated with respect and fairness, nor burdened with additional stress during a difficult time of loss.

A good rule of thumb is to review your Will every 3-5 years, as well as whenever you have a life change.

As Will Week in British Columbia comes to a close, we would like to remind you that Carter Notary is here for all of your estate planning needs.

Call us at (250) 383-4100 to start your Will file with us.

That 1 AM panic is not just restlessness. It's a problem you can solve.

You know the feeling. It's the middle of the night, and your brain decides to ask, 'If something happened to us, what would happen to the kids?'

You push it away, but the worry is always there. That feeling isn't something you have to live with. It's a sign that a crucial piece of your family's safety net is missing.

Getting a Will isn't about planning for death. It's about taking control of your family's future. It’s the final step to ensuring all your hard work pays off for the people you love most.

You can trust Carter Notary to create a Will that fits your family situation and ensures your wishes are fulfilled after you are gone. It's Will Week in British Columbia and now is the time to gain that peace of mind.
