Much of her success stems from real-life experiences including teaching elementary school, small business ownership, and senior government executive combined with her ability to empathize and listen to her clients’ needs, and help them to understand in practical terms. This keen ability combined with enthusiasm and knowledge provides her clients with the confidence and trust they seek when making important decisions around personal legal matters – selling or buying a house, making a Will, appointing a power of attorney, selecting the right estate executor, creating a living will, notarizing and sending documents to other countries.

You've been saving for your child's education through an RESP. But have you thought about what happens to that account if you pass away?

There's an important distinction to understand:

Subscriber: The person who opens and controls the RESP, making decisions about the account.

Beneficiary: The child or other eligible person who is named to receive the educational benefits.

Here's what surprises many parents. Being named as the beneficiary doesn't mean your child automatically inherits control of the RESP if you die. That's why RESPs deserve a place in your estate planning conversations.

At Carter Notary, we help clients look beyond the obvious when preparing their Wills. That includes asking questions about assets and accounts that might otherwise be overlooked.

Have an RESP for your kids or grandkids? Make sure your estate plan considers it.

Contact Carter Notary to discuss your estate planning needs. (250) 383-4100

You saved for their education. But have you planned for what happens to the RESP itself if you die?
It's one of those estate-planning questions many people don't realize they need to ask.

The child or grandchild named as beneficiary isn't necessarily the person who simply takes over managing the RESP if the subscriber dies. This is exactly why preparing a Will involves more than deciding who gets what.

At Carter Notary, we ask about the bigger picture - your family, your assets, and the arrangements you've put in place. Because sometimes it's the thing you hadn't thought about that leads to the most important conversation.

Have an RESP? Add this question to your estate-planning checklist: “What happens to it if I'm not here?”

From personal experience, we have seen the shock of unexpected events, the lack of a Will, improper planning, and the financial and emotional impact on family and loved ones.

Fortunately, we have also seen the opposite. We know how a well-prepared Will protects and ensures surviving loved ones are treated with respect and fairness, nor burdened with additional stress during a difficult time of loss.

A good rule of thumb is to review your Will every 3-5 years, as well as whenever you have a life change.

As Will Week in British Columbia comes to a close, we would like to remind you that Carter Notary is here for all of your estate planning needs.

Call us at (250) 383-4100 to start your Will file with us.

The real reason you haven't done your Will...

It's not because you're lazy. It's because you're a responsible person who is terrified of getting it wrong. You're worried about DIY fails and complicated professional processes. What if it wasn't?

Protecting your family shouldn't be complicated. It's our job to handle the complexity so you can have peace of mind.

We've helped many busy parents create their estate plan. We take an educational approach, never in a judgmental or condescending manner. We encourage questions as we guide you through the process of protecting your family and gaining peace of mind.

Book an appointment on our website, or call our office at (250) 383-4100.

What can a Will do for you?

✅ Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing.

✅ Appoint a guardian to care for your children.

✅ Reduce family conflict through clear wishes and instructions.

✅ Leave a lasting impact on a charity or cause close to your heart.

✅ Give you peace of mind that your wishes will be followed.

Now is the perfect time to contact Carter Notary to make sure your Will is up-to-date!

We earn your stamp of approval by thinking for you and educating you so that your wishes are fulfilled after you are gone.
