When a loved one passes away, do you know if they had a Will? And second, do you know where to find a copy of it ?
Sometimes, very unfortunately, loved ones go missing, and it is a complicated issue to deem if someone has actually died.
Testamentary Capacity and Estate Planning is an important consideration in the process of updating Wills.
If a client has Canadian property and assets in a foreign jurisdiction, it is recommended that they consult with a lawyer in the jurisdiction where they hold those foreign assets.
