What is a Will?

A Will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets distributed after you pass away. It allows you to appoint executors to manage your estate and guardians for minor children. Having a will ensures that your estate is divided according to your wishes, minimizing potential disputes among family members.

Why You Need It:

• Control who inherits your assets.
• Appoint guardians for minor children.
• Reduce confusion and conflict for your loved ones.

What Happens If You Don’t Have One?
Without a will, Alberta’s intestacy laws come into effect, meaning the court will decide how your assets are distributed, who will manage your estate, and who will care for your minor children. Your loved ones may face prolonged legal processes and disputes during an already difficult time.
