Do I need to update my Will if I Move?
Most Wills remain effective if you move. However, updates are required when a Will gives a spouse or child a right to live at or keep a certain address and that address has changed.
Moves are also a great time to review documents. Is your new location still convenient for your executors or should you choose new ones? Have you appointed a Power of Attorney in case you lose capacity? Etc.
Consideration should also be given if you’ve moved between provinces. Each province has their own version of a Power of Attorney and Medical Agreement so it advisable to have one in any jurisdiction where you own property.
If your Will needs to change, give Dan Grice and his team at KSW Lawyers a call. We can manage all your estate and tax planning needs, business services, disputes and more.
