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.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is an Executor?

What is an Executor? 

An Executor is the person who’s the legal representative of your Estate. After you die, your Executor is responsible for taking all of the assets and properties that you own and distributing it to your heirs.

If you’re thinking about who should be your Executor, you want to name a person who is responsible, organized, a good communicator, and who keeps their head in a difficult emotional situation, and if you can pick somebody who lives in Ontario

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Do children inherit parent's debt?

Most debt doesn’t transfer from a parent’s estate to a child. If the deceased did not have enough assets to pay off the debts, the creditors may require a sale of the assets of the estate to address the debt, but that’s it. 

There are some exceptions- like if a child jointly owned the debt, or acted as a guarantor, or if the deceased parent improperly offloaded assets to the child for less than market value to evade creditors.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: 4 Things to Think About When Making a Last Will

If you're making the Last Will there are 4 things that you should think about.

1. Who do I want to leave my property to after I pass away?

2. Who's the person that I want to appoint to take care of all of my property and affairs after I die?

3. You need to think about any responsibilities you have to your loved ones to care for them after you         die. Think children, think elderly parents.

4. Once you put your mind to all of that, you'll get in contact with the lawyer and the lawyer will help         you write your last will.
