Therefore, the knowledgeable team at Galarneau & Associates Professional Corporation takes a detailed approach to help you understand this document's intricacies.
Your will is a legal document that states your final wishes for your property, debts and other assets. It contains instructions about to whom your assets will go to after you die. You will also need to detail who your executor is, the person who ensures your will is carried out.
Without a will in place your assets may be distributed in a manner that you
would not have chosen. Legal fees are also significantly higher in these circumstances. A properly prepared
will should have provisions in place for underage and/or disabled beneficiaries.
Galarneau & Associates Professional Corporation can help you ensure all necessary
provisions are in place.
While you may think of those with estates to be an exclusive group, almost everyone has an estate. Your estate is made up of everything you own, including your:
3
Cars
Home
Bank accounts
Investments
Furniture

Estate planning is the process of determining what happens to these things when you pass away. On a basic level, estate planning entails planning in advance and naming whom you want to receive your possessions. It also involves naming guardians and inheritance for minor children.
