ESTATE PLANNING
is for EVERYONE
Only two things are certain in life: death
and taxes.
That’s why it’s important to consider
developing an estate plan to ensure your
wishes are followed when it comes to
managing and distributing your
financial assets.
Regardless of how much money you have,
an estate plan can help secure everything
you’ve accumulated in your lifetime –
your home, maybe a cottage, your bank
accounts, your investment accounts, any
vehicles or interest in a family business,
and your personal possessions.
If you don’t have a will setting out
who will inherit your money and your
belongings when you die, provincial law
determines it for you -- and it may not be
according to your wishes.
Estate planning also protects you in
other ways.

It’s a sad fact that financial exploitation is
the most common form of senior abuse.
It happens when someone like a family
member or friend -- or even a scam artist
-- tries to take control of a senior’s money
or property for their own benefit.
One of the best ways to prevent financial
abuse is to have a well thought-out and
well drafted estate plan and to make sure
your family knows your wishes. FCNB has
resources and tools to help get you started.
Remember, estate planning isn’t just
about you. It’s about the people you leave
behind. Consult your lawyer now so you
can rest easy knowing your loved ones are
taken care of after you are gone.
