- Who will care for your children?

- Who will care for your dependents? This includes pets and parents!
- Have you ever signed any contracts that may impact your Will? Such as a marriage contract or a shareholders agreement.
More details about how Your Estate Lawyer Works With You
In the first meeting, we discuss your needs and expectations for your estate documents. This meeting can be in-person, over the phone, or virtually by Zoom or Google Hangout. After the meeting, you can decide whether we’re the right fit for your estate lawyer needs. And if so, then we can help you decide which Angrove Law estate package best suits your needs.
Before your initial meeting, we will ask you to fill out the Angrove Law estate package questionnaire. By having you fill out a questionnaire ahead of time, you save on legal fees (woohoo!) This also provides you with time to reflect on questions without pressure.
Once you send us your filled out Angrove Law estate planning questionnaire, we will have a 30 minute meeting to review. This meeting will give you the opportunity to ask your estate lawyer questions. We also need to make sure we have an accurate picture of your situation and needs. For example, have you ever signed a domestic contract that your will needs to consider or do you have dependents you need to care for after death. After that, we will provide options to give you the best way forward for your particular situation.
After your estate lawyer is done drafting, you will receive samples of your will and other estate planning documents. Final review is one of the most important step. We once had a Portuguese client with 10 names – getting her to spellcheck was critical! Review can be done virtually, done by e-mail or Zoom. If you would like an in-person meeting, we are more than happy to accommodate!
Once you’ve confirmed the accuracy of your will, it’s time to set up the final meeting with your estate lawyer. Depending on your province this meeting can be done in-person or virtual.
At this last meeting, you will sign, witness, and safe keep your documents. Who is present at the last meeting? You, your partner if applicable, your estate lawyer, and an unbiased third-party. This last meeting usually takes between 30 – 60 minutes. We make sure you clearly understand everything that you sign and that you know how to use each document.
Learn About Your Estate Documents
Will
Personal Directive
Power Of Attorney
Will
A will is a written and signed document made by you. In this document you decide who gets what when you die. Wills are only one part of estate planning.
A professional, like an estate lawyer, will be able to help you minimize your tax responsibilities upon death. They can do this by advising which assets can be transferred outside your will and which should be gifted using a will. You want to make sure your will matches up with the other transfer methods. This will stop confusion amongst beneficiaries. And keep them out of court!
Personal Directive
A Personal Directive, also known as a Power of Attorney for Personal Care, is a document that legally designates someone to make medical and personal care decisions on your behalf. The Personal Directive can only be used when you are not mentally capable of making decisions yourself but are still alive.
Our estate lawyers can assist you in providing your instructions about your medical care wishes in your Personal Directive.
Power Of Attorney
A Power of Attorney (for the management of property) is a document that lets someone of your choosing manage your financial affairs during your absence or incapacity. For example, if you want to purchase property in Canada while living abroad, your Attorney can use this document to sign the deed for you. Another example, is if you needed a matter dealt with while in surgery. Your Power of Attorney expires when you die. When you die, the person you named as executor in your Will takes over the power to manage your property.
Use this document to legally designate someone to handle your financial affairs while you are living.
