Our Wills better protect your loved ones
o By avoiding Will interpretation problems later on (arguments over your true wishes):
- we provide you with expert legal/tax advice during your Will & Estate planning consultations
- we verify your personal identification, your understanding of the
contents of the Will, and your agreement thereto, in a very formal manner
(reading of the Will before signing, explanation of the clauses and official witnessing of your signature)
- the wording used in our Wills is clear, precise and complete,
thereby avoiding ambiguity and later arguments over the meaning of different
phrases or words and what you truly intended to say.
o By eliminating the risk of an unhappy Family member destroying or altering your informal Will, and changing the nature of who benefits from your Estate:
- your original copy of your formal Notary Will is kept in our vault and registered with the Chamber of Notaries
- a Will search will reveal the existence of your last formal Will
o By avoiding the risk of Family conflict and broken relationships:
- the special
formalities we attach to the creation of our Wills are virtually
impossible to overturn in Court (planning discussions, subsequent
personal verifications, reading, explanation of clauses and witnessing
your signatures)
- these
formalities minimize the risk of any unhappy family member successfully challenging the
validity of your Will, while maximizing the likelihood that your true wishes
will be respected and that harmony in the family will prevail.
If your are concerned that gaps or inconsistencies may exist in your
present Will, please feel free to contact us to ensure your wishes will
be respected and that your loved ones will be protected, long after you are
gone.
If you have an informal Will (Lawyers Will, Handwritten Will or
Do-it-yourself Will Kit), we believe that it is in your family's
interest to redo your Will as a formal Notary Will. Please contact us
to learn how simple it is to avoid the problems mentioned above by
converting your informal Will into a formal new Notary Will.
