Wills & Powers of Attorney
Wills
At Estate Lawyers Mississauga, we will ensure that your Will is correctly drafted and executed properly, and ensuring it is a valid Will. If a Will is not properly drafted or executed, it can be challenged by potential beneficiaries. Whether your Will is simple or complex, it is crucial that your property and other assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death.
Defining your personal goals and planning your Will ahead of time will save your family problems and expenses at a difficult time. We, at Estate Lawyers Mississauga will guide you every step of the way.
Your Will must be precise, clear, and have no ambiguity. After you pass away, it is too late to ask for a clarification. Having a Court involved if someone challenges your Will can be time-consuming and expensive, particularly if the Will is not drafted correctly.
Powers of Attorney
At Estate Lawyers Mississauga, we also provide our services to draft your Power of Attorney for Personal Care and Power of Attorney for Property or Finances. These two critical companion documents allow you to state in advance, who would make decisions regarding your personal care and finances if you become incapacitated and unable to look after these matters yourself.
If you plan ahead, your health care and finances will be in good hands at a critical time, when you are unable or incapacitated to make decisions. If you are severely ill, on a ventilator, in a coma, or on life support, it is almost impossible to make Powers of Attorney. Estate Lawyers Mississauga will provide you with legal services and guidance you need to complete your Powers of Attorney documents.
Storage of Will and Powers of Attorney
Along with helping you create your Will and Powers of Attorney, we also provide services for storage of these documents. When working with Estate Lawyers Mississauga, your concerns and interests will be in good hands.
