Wills and Estates

If you own property of any kind (whether personal  property or real estate), you need a will to set out your wishes with respect to  how such property should be distributed upon death. A will is a key legal  document ensuring your wishes are carried out. Without a will, your estate (upon  death) may be in limbo until either the government or a person (not necessarily  someone you would choose) is appointed as estate trustee to look after your  assets. This may result in delays, further expenses and/or other complications.  A Will can also set out your wishes for your children/dependants instead of  leaving that decision solely to the court's discretion.
