N a u m e tz B a r r is te r ( ? S o lic ito r General Practice Save money, make a will (NC)-While writing a will does not need to be complicated, it is always advisable to contact a lawyer or notary. Ensuring that there are no small mistakes which could cause difficulties in future years, plus the peace of mind that comes from knowing everything was done correctly, is well worth the cost of such legal service. And the cost is far less than people imagine. Can / write my own will without consulting a lawyer? You can, but it's not usually advisable. Home made wills are generally valid if certain minimum requirements are met, at least in some provinces. But there is no substitute for the professional expertise of a competent lawyer or notary. Laws about will-making and taxes can vary from province to province. The specific wording needed to ensure your wishes are met is important to keep in mind. A small mistake in a home-made will might cause complications to your estate and result in your wishes not being carried out. And DSmember, a simple will need not be expensive. What is an Estate? Everyone has an estate, if they own anything at all. The term applies not just to real estate, but cash, cars, furniture, books...any property at all. The smaller your estate, the more important that it be settled quickly: delays usually mean more expense. Besides, your estate may be larger than you realize. Don't make the mistake of thinking of your property in terms of what it cost originally. In many cases, its value may have increased. How much does it cost to have a lawyer draw up my will? That depends on how simple or complicated the will is. But wills are usually much less costly than people expect, and definitely less than the emotional and financial Costs of not having one. Ask the lawyer in advance what it will cost. It's a question which they answer routinely. HANNA HENDERSON BARIC HELLO B A R R IS T E R S & S O L IC IT O R S ESTABLISHED 1974 BRIAN J. HANNA · PAUL J.
