I'm among a group of law firms and lawyers in our community who are offering "simple" Wills during Free Wills Month in June, for residents of Saskatchewan and Manitoba who are 55+.

The Free Wills are sponsored by several charities. There is no obligation to leave gifts to the charities, though they obviously do hope that will happen, as they all rely on gifts for a large portion of their income.

This is an opportunity to update your Will and at the same time consider leaving a gift in your Will to one or more of a group of wonderful charities.

Visit www.freewillsmonth.ca for details. Scroll down, enter your details and follow the instructions to select me or another lawyer from the list. Call or email me (306-665-0020 or [email protected]) or the other lawyer to book your appointment and please remember to mention 'Free Wills Month' when you call or email.

Thank you to Quint Development Corporation for this acknowledgement. It has been a pleasure working with the Executive Director, Len Usiskin, and many other board and staff members, like Jacqui Barclay, Sheila Aubichon-Pocha, and Laverne Sjevolt, over the years. Besides work, there has been fun at various functions and community events

Thank you Anne!

This year Quint wants to acknowledge Anne Hardy, a Saskatoon lawyer who has been a volunteer Director for 20 years. She has served as Quint's Treasurer for all but two of those years.

Anne has done a significant amount of legal work for Quint and much of it has been pro bono. We would like to express our deepest appreciation to Anne for her volunteer work with Quint and the expertise she has provided the organization!

Excellent advice - make a Will, to avoid the confusion for your family if you do not have one!

Our local paper recently published (then thankfully retracted) an article on estate planning that perpetuated a common myth about what happens when you don't have a Will.

Contrary to popular belief, if you die without a Will, the government does not automatically "take over" your estate in any way - they do not make decisions about, or confiscate, your property. There is legislation that sets out who inherits from you and who may administer your estate, based on familial relationships.

What does happen though, is confusion and stress for your family, who often need to apply to court to confirm their decision-making authority. You also may not be pleased with the way your estate is divided among your family members, when you had other plans.

For this reason, we will stand by the last line of the retracted piece, which is simply "get a Will!"
