According to a recent study, approximately half of the Canadian population does not have a will. Many of these individuals believe that they are either too young or do not have enough assets to justify having a will. Without a will, an individual’s affairs are handled by the provincial government, which means that any assets are distributed according to the laws of the province and may not reflect the deceased person’s wishes.

The Communications and Financial Literacy Portfolio of the Economic Planning Board has organized a seminar where professional lawyers will highlight the need for having a will and a power of attorney. The presentation will also dispel some of the myths associated with these legal documents. 

The seminar will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon at Willowdale Jamatkhana.
