Decisions that protect the people who depend on you. An estate plan is about who is protected and how, and it only works if it says exactly what you mean.

Answers to the questions we hear most often. Estate planning shouldn't be complicated - it should be clear.
Yes, if you have assets, a partner, or kids. Without a will, your estate is divided by a default formula that may have nothing to do with what you would actually want.
Your estate is distributed under the Administration and Probate Act's statutory formula. It can take longer, cost more, and land very differently than you would have chosen.
After any major life event: marriage, divorce, a new child, a big asset purchase, or a change to your business. Otherwise, every three to five years is a sensible check-in.
