A Toronto Wills and Estate Planning Lawyer You Can Rely On

Most people understand that having a will and a proper estate plan makes sense—yet it is one of those things people often put off. Every adult, even those of modest means, should have a will and powers of attorney established for care and property. Shockingly, most people in Ontario don’t have these cornerstone documents of sound life and financial planning.

A will is the easiest and most effective way to tell others how you want your property and possessions distributed when you die. Powers of attorney for both personal care and property give a trusted person the legal authority to make financial and personal health care decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so because of injury, illness, or disease.

At Charney Legal, Avi has extensive experience drafting wills, powers of attorney, and estate plans for Ontario residents. A well-executed estate plan considers tax, probate, and insurance, as well as family dynamics. Avi helps arrange your financial affairs to avoid ambiguity, unnecessary taxes, and litigation for individuals and families with extensive estates and great wealth, as well as those with modest means and relatively straightforward estates.

When Making Your Will, It Is Important to Consider:

• Who will act as your Estate Executor and Alternate Executor?
• How do you wish the assets of your estate to be distributed?
• Are there important items you wish to include and bequeath to anyone in particular?
• Are there assets or special needs beneficiaries who require specific planning or management?
• Who will be named the guardian(s) of your minor children?
• At what age will the minor beneficiaries receive the entitlements under your Will?
• Do you wish to leave any instructions to the guardian(s) of your minor children?
