COVID-19 & Estates: Reassuring points in a time of uncertainty

In recent weeks, our Wills and Estates team has received a number of questions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on this CBC report, we are not alone.

Listen along to Maya C. Gordon and Emma Banfield as they discuss some estate questions that have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic:

1. What happens if I have no will?
2. What makes a will a legal document?
3. Who will look after my children if something happens to me?
4. What happens if someone dies and I am named their executor?
5. What can I do to prepare?

Whether you have a will already, are in the process of preparing estate documents, or are concerned about how estate matters might be affected by COVID-19, this webinar will provide valuable information and reassurance.
