The key benefit of having a Will in Canada is choosing who will get your property and how it will be divided among your beneficiaries. Another essential component of a will is to make specific gifts and appoint a guardian for your minor children.
Therefore it is important to have a will, if you have a property or any form of assets such as balance in the bank or a car or minor child and want to make sure your assets are divided as per your wish and/or your minor child has a guardian after your death, you should have a will in Canada.
