Selecting an executor

A Will should identify one or more individuals who will act as executors to carry out your instructions in accordance with the Will as well as winding up your personal and business affairs. If an executor is not appointed in the Will, the courts will appoint someone to administer your estate.

You may have other dependents such as parents or other persons who you are legally responsible for. They must be considered when making a will.

POWERS OF ATTORNEY

Selecting an attorney

A Power of Attorney should identify one or more individuals who will act as attorneys to carry out your wishes both with respect to property and with respect to your person. If you become incapacitated or incapable and an attorney has not been appointed, the courts may appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf.
Powers of attorney – personal care

You can identify someone to make medical, healthcare and lifestyle decisions on your behalf when you cannot make them yourself.
Powers of attorney – financial

You can identify someone you feel is best suited to manage your affairs should you become incapacitated or unable to manage your own affairs. If you do not, your assets may be frozen or the Public Trustee, named by the government of Ontario, may administer your affairs.
Changes in will and powers of attorney

Once your Will and Powers of Attorney are in place, you should review them periodically with us, at least every five years. Changes in your financial and family situations, such as a death, divorce, separation, acquisition of a business, remarriage, changes in your children’s circumstances or an inheritance, may necessitate revisions.
