Planning your Estate

Estate planning is not only for the wealthy – everyone can benefit from having a plan in place. If you have any assets or dependents, estate planning can give you peace of mind knowing that your affairs are in order. If you die without a will or other estate plan, your assets will be distributed by the government using provincial laws, which may not reflect your wishes.

Estate planning can also help you plan for incapacity. If you become incapacitated, someone will need to make financial and healthcare decisions on your behalf. Without a plan in place, these decisions could be made by the court, which may not act in your best interests.

An effective estate plan can:

  • Minimize taxes and legal fees
  • Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes
  • Provide for business continuity and succession of ownership
  • Protect your wealth and the future success of your business.

Although creating an estate plan can be a complex process but our goal is to simplify the process for you. At NBG, we have years of experience and have guided several families, step-by-step, through the process of establishing an effective estate plan and ensuring your loved ones are protected and your wealth is transferred in a smooth and orderly fashion.
