It releases them from having to quickly make decisions in their time of grief. It also frees them from the need to pay costs associated with your cemetery arrangements.

A revocable living trust can be established to allow you to specify how your assets are to be handled both during your lifetime and after your death. By transferring assets from your name as an individual to that of trustee of the trust, you avoid having the court make decisions for you should you become incapacitated or when you die. Alter ego trusts are a tangible example of a revocable living trust. Such trusts are popular for ownership of assets that are needing protection as it reduces the likelihood your spouse would later transfer sole ownership to joint tenants with a new partner. A joint partner trust is another example of a revocable living trust with the same qualifying criteria as an alter ego trust but it serves the interests of two settlors instead of one. Such a trust may benefit a couple (unmarried or married) who wish to transfer ownership of their assets to a trust to try prevent a future partner from seeking and obtaining property rights after death of one of the settlors. Thinking of implementing an estate plan….call us to discuss! Local residents can light a candle in support of a north Halton hospice at an upcoming event in Ac- ton. The Townsend-Smith Hospice Foundation is hosting a Giving Thanks for Hospice outdoor can- dlelight ceremony at the Halton Hills Public Li- brary, Acton branch on Oct. 10 from 7 to 7:30 p.m. The evening is designed to honour those who have sought hospice care and ex- press support for future hospice care options in the community. The ceremony will in- clude readings about hos- pice care, live music and the lighting of votive can- dles in memory of individu- als who've passed away. Volunteers at the Town- send-Smith Hospice Foun- dation are working on building a hospice to serve north Halton. Currently, local residents who require hospice care have to access it outside the community. The foundation is ex- ploring the feasibility of building its first hospice in Milton's Chris Hadfield Park and is striving to raise $10 million to make its vi- sion a reality. The candlelight ceremo- ny is open to everyone and admission is free. For more information visit townsend-smith.ca.
