Wills & Estate Planning

In this episode, we welcome special guest Danica Doucette-Preville, Associate Lawyer, specializing in estate planning. Danica touches on the 3 main legal documents that are necessary for planning for your estate. She addresses important questions such as: What happens when someone passes away without a will? What makes a will valid? Can someone write their own will? Are will kits a good option? What is probate? Danica shares some of the life events that may call for an update in your estate documents. Estate planning is a serious topic to tackle, but such an important one that we should not delay, do not be afraid, it’s time to take confident action!
