Review and Explanation of Will
Understanding a Will at the outset prevents costly missteps later. We translate complex provisions into clear action items for the estate trustee and clarity for beneficiaries.
-
Who is in charge: confirmation of the named estate trustee(s) and alternates; scope of powers and decision-making rules.
Specific gifts & residue: how specific bequests work, abatement if assets are insufficient, and how the residue is divided.
Trust provisions: spousal, minor, Henson, or discretionary trusts; trustee discretions; encroachment powers; and termination triggers.
Guardianship & dependants: guardianship nominations and how dependants’ support claims can affect administration.
Real property & business assets: directions to sell vs. hold; rights of first refusal; shareholder agreements and buy-sell clauses.
Designations & non-probate assets: RRSPs/RRIFs/TFSA, life insurance, and joint assets; reconciling designations with Will clauses.
Ambiguities & conflicts: identifying drafting conflicts, missing assets, or lapsed gifts and proposing solutions.
Practical roadmap: an annotated action plan keyed to the Will’s clauses.
