Is your estate a life's junk drawer or a well organized safety deposit box?
Who will answer your questions?
Debt: When someone dies with debts like mortgages, the people who inherit their assets may need to qualify with a lender to keep those assets. However, it's not always possible for the beneficiaries to do so.
Insurance: A versatile insurance policy can be designed to help with reducing debts, fulfilling the wishes of the deceased, handling tax obligations, and providing financial support for both the executors and beneficiaries.
Investment: Generally, investments, including real estate, go through a legal process called probate, even if beneficiaries are named. This process can create unnecessary problems, costs, and restrictions for the executor when distributing funds.
Tax: We all have to deal with taxes, even after we pass away. It's the legal responsibility of the executor to ensure that any tax bills from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) are paid. However, many Canadians are unaware of the taxes they owe, which can leave their executor liable to the CRA.
Estate: Plan My Estate focuses on the desires of the person making the will and the needs of their loved ones. We help families and business owners achieve peace of mind before death by reducing estate administration costs, minimizing family conflicts, and helping executors avoid mistakes and unnecessary expenses.

DO YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR ESTATE DOCUMENTS COMPLETED?
Do you desire an estate consult to review continuity and preparedness of your executor and estate plans
Individuals and Family: Review of existing wills and POA documents to determine if reliable trustees and attorneys have a depth of planning and understanding to administer the testators wishes at the time of need. Often, there is confusion or misaligned intentions in a family setting that could be avoided with an estate consult.
Sole Proprietor: If the business is registered as a sole proprietorship, considerations include closing the business with the CRA, alerting creditors, informing customers while tending to the personal needs of the estate.
Real Estate: Primary residence, rental real estate or recreational properties of the testator require additional consultation. Generally, there is a need to align expectations of beneficiaries to the timing and wishes of the testator's gift. Considerations include, capital gains tax, property maintenance, title transfer registration, refinancing or selling costs.
Corporate Consult: Preserve the integrity of the operations and asset values for the beneficiaries of shareholders while respecting the needs of the business and partners.
Estate Settlement Consult: There are efficiencies that can be made to ensure your wishes are delivered once authority has been granted to an executor or POA. Pre-planning is the key to ensuring your wishes are protected and honored.
Executor and POA Consult: These are the most trusted appointments for a testator to consider. Often the complexity of administering an estate can out-match the skills of an executor to understand and navigate on their own. Assessing your appointments and their capacities is critical to proper estate planning.
Estate Cash on Hand Consult: A full report of the expenses your estate will incur and how to position funds for your executor to access quickly. This consult also reviews the team of professionals that need to align.
Fees start at $299 for an hour with $175 every hour after

It's more than just a will
An estate plan goes much further than a will. Not only does it deal with the distribution of assets and legacy wishes, but it may help you and your heirs pay substantially less in taxes, fees, and court costs.
A properly planned estate will leave your family with the resources and legacy you want them to have, not the burden & stress than most non-planned estates cause.
