Estate Planning FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions that our lawyers routinely hear.
A will is a basic document that everyone should have because it says what happens with your assets after you die.
Westcoast Wills is available to meet from anywhere, using videoconferencing. Our estate planning lawyers also have four convenient offices: on Lonsdale in North Vancouver, on West Broadway in Vancouver, on Production Way in Burnaby, and next to King George Station in Surrey. We also know of estate lawyers in other areas of the province and would be happy to share their names.
Estate planning lawyers are different than more generalized lawyer because we focus on estate planning only. Generalized lawyers who draft wills and notaries who draft wills tend to focus only on that – drafting a will. At a typical 15 to 30 minute meeting with them, they go straight into questions like “who do you want as your executor” and “who do you want to give your assets to?.” Creating an estate plan before getting to the will often saves you money on taxes, eliminates disputes after you die and eliminates the need for probate. A meeting with a proper estate planning lawyer should take between 1 and 2 hours.
