Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Can I make my own Will using an online form?

Beware. If you use an online form instead of a lawyer:

1. You aren’t getting personalized advice from a lawyer who has assessed your needs and interests. 

2. Nobody is proofreading the document to ensure it is error free, and captures your intentions accurately. 

3. Sadly, many online will forms include mistakes -  some that could adversely affect the interpretation of the Will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is Probate?

When you name a person in your last will to be the Executor of your Estate, that person sometimes needs to also apply to the Court to be appointed formally as the legal representative of your Estate in order to deal with certain property that you own, potentially like a house or a bank account that solely in your name. The process of applying to Court to be appointed as the representative of your Estate is what we call Probate.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: When should you make a Will?

The best time to time to prepare your Last Will is “right now.” 

The end product is only half the benefit. You also benefit from taking stock of all your assets and responsibilities and from planning how you’d like to take care of your loved ones. 

When you talk with a lawyer about your Will, you will get advice and clarity about these concerns and the steps you need to take to keep your affairs in order. There is no more important way to provide for your family and your future.
