“I think that people have difficulty facing their mortality,” says Toronto lawyer Bob Aaron, in trying to explain why more than half of Canadians do not have a will.
In this video, I interview Bob about misconceptions involving wills, including what will happen if you die without a will (no, the government doesn’t take it all). We talk about the dangers of using a “will kit” rather than getting legal advice when writing a will and cover how to choose an estate trustee – and what to do if you are named as an estate trustee. I learned several things about wills and estates that I didn’t know before.
