III. WILLS, TRUSTS and ESTATES SEMINAR
PLAN has a new online course to enable you to learn from the convenience of your own home. Through a combination of videos, interactive activities and forms, you'll learn everything you need to know about how to set up your will, including the different types of trusts you may want to include to leave an inheritance for your child with a disability. You'll also learn about the Registered Disability Savings Plan and how it will impact your estate planning.
This course will be offered every other month starting in March 2008 and takes between 3-5 hours to complete.
An up-to-date will ensures that your wishes for your relative with a disability are honoured after you are gone. Co-presented by an experienced lawyer and parent, these seminars answer your questions about discretionary trusts, planning your will, and choosing executors, guardians, and trustees. By the end, you’ll be better prepared to have a lawyer draft your will, saving you both time and money.
