604-531-1041 2nd Floor, 2099 - 152nd St., South Surrey Many people pass away without having an estate plan properly documented. Even if you have executed a Last Will and Testament, the question arises: how often does one need to revisit their estate plan? The following developments may require you to do so:

+ 604.596.3936

Revisiting Your Estate Plan 3. Change in relationships. Relationship breakdown is an unfortunate reality that many people have to face. Whenever there is a change in relationships, such as a divorce / separation, engagement, or estrangement from a child, it is important to ensure that your estate planning reflects this. 4. Becoming a parent or grandparent. An outdated estate plan may not have taken future children and grandchildren into contemplation. Failing to include a child in your Will may lead to your Will being challenged in court under the Wills Variation Act. Additionally, it may be prudent to consider whom you would like a portion of your estate to be passed on to in the unfortunate event that one of your children predeceases you. 5. Losing a spouse. This tragic event can leave you emotionally adrift for a very long time. It is important that your estate plan designates new beneficiaries to receive your estate if your spouse predeceases you. 6. Declining health. Individuals suffering from a terminal illness or degenerative disease may find comfort in getting their estate plan in order. In addition, executing a Power of Attorney, Living Will and Representation Agreement will ensure that your financial affairs, health and personal care decisions are respected in the event of your disability or inability to communicate such decisions.

Professionals 1. Changes in the law. The Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) will officially come into force on March 31, 2014. This new legislation is aimed at simplifying the laws regarding settling a person’s estate by consolidating several existing acts (namely, the Estate Administration Act, the Wills Act, the Wills Variation Act, and the Probate Recognition Act) into one comprehensive act. WESA will introduce several noteworthy changes to the law, including: lowering the age at which an individual can write a will to 16 (currently 19), removing the automatic revocation of a will that occurs when the individual who wrote the will subsequently enters into a marriage, removing the presumption of the younger of joint tenants surviving the older where both die together, and allowing the Courts to rectify a Will which does not conform to all of the requirements of a valid Will. We recommend that you consult your lawyer to ensure that your final wishes will be upheld. 2. Change in your financial situation. Whether you have started a new business or had profitable returns on a new investment, you should consider how you would like to distribute this increase in wealth between your loved ones. Additionally, a large financial windfall may induce you to make transfers during your lifetime in order to reduce fees/taxes arising upon your passing.
