Wills and Estates

The deceased person may leave behind liabilities, bank accounts, or other assets, including real estate, which is known as their estate.

Only an estate trustee may manage or distribute the estate per the wishes of the deceased if there is a Will or as per Succession Law Reform Act if the person dies without a Will.

In either case, the estate trustee must obtain from the court authority to act as the estate trustee for the estate. The Wills and Estate Lawyers at Gahir & Associate Lawyers assist clients in obtaining Certificate of Estate Trustee from the Court.

Designation and Revocation of Beneficiaries under insurance Plans and Policies:

The middle class has a great deal of wealth invested in various insurance policies, such as TFSA, RESP, RRSP, Life insurance, etc., which should not be ignored. Designation, change or confirmation of a beneficiary for registered plans or insurance policies in your will is part of your plan for distributing of your assets.
