The COVID-19 pandemic led to an uptick in people creating their first will and deciding how their assets would be distributed after death. Planning for death can still be a taboo subject. Without adequate preparation, executors face several stressors in addition to mourning a loved one. Chris Mines is joined by Debbie Stanley, certified executor advisor, speaker, author, and founder of ETP Canada. They discuss what happens when someone is named an executor, how people can create a holistic planning process, and how to avoid out-of-pocket expenses. Some of the topics covered in this course include: • How the estate planning process differs between provinces and for non-Canadian residents • Being named an executor vs. administrator • Creating and updating a will • The probate process • Prepaying funeral expenses and assessing CPP benefits • Tips for distributing unsheltered assets and more!
