Personal Planning Video: Wills

January 31, 2024 by By Beverly Carter, President of Think Local First Society & CEO of Carter Notary — Estate Planning

https://youtu.be/rgaRSRB0YWk?si=RC9SdqkmqIBF1Qhi

The issues with Do It Yourself Will kits and the common errors people make. Beverly Carter Notary Public will discuss the downside of the DIY Wills and why having a Will done with a professional matters in BC. She routinely quotes a lawyer who once told her “Lawyers love home-made Wills”. In her experience, when reviewing home-made Wills, that clients bring in, she finds that about four out of five Wills have errors and most of those are grievous errors. She will talk about the unique features of BC’s Wills, Estates, and Succession Act, general estate planning and how to prepare for making a Will.
