but this can be a lengthy and costly process , particularly if there are opposing parties .
The most common means of creating or updating a will is through a reputable law firm , but other options are available . Do-it-yourself kits are available for simple estates , and some provinces provide printable templates . Online options allow for more customization but are still inappropriate for complex situations . A holographic ( handwritten ) will is a poor alternative because it may not be sanctioned for the dispersal of real property , and in some provinces this type of will is not recognized at all .
Regardless of your wealth , your age , or your situation , a last will and testament can make a significant difference in how your estate is handled after you ’ re gone . It lifts the burden from your family and friends so that they can focus on honouring your memory rather than trying to discern your final wishes .
Jane Thrall is retired and living her best life . She has already decided how to divide her estate and has a legal and up-to-date will in place for when the time comes . Hopes are that this will be in the distant future .
