Why retain a lawyer to prepare your Wills?

Dealing with Wills and estate planning requires thorough knowledge of the laws and taxes of your province. It also requires a deep understanding of the process of dealing with an estate when a person has passed.

Here are a few factors to consider when deciding to retain a lawyer for the preparation of your estate planning documents
