Description
Your will says who gets what. It never says why.
In My Own Words™ asks the questions your family will ask later: why you chose that executor, why the shares aren’t equal, why an item went where it did. The answers become one letter, in your words, to keep with your will. The decisions that cause the most hurt after a death are rarely the legal ones. They’re the unexplained ones.
What’s inside: Nine short steps covering your executor, how you divided the residue of your estate, anyone who receives less, someone left out of your will entirely, the story behind items your will names, guardians and trusts, and a personal message. Two steps are optional and drop out of the letter if they don’t apply to you. Each step shows you exactly what it will print.
What you get: One letter in your own words, laid out properly, opening with a clear statement that it isn’t a will and doesn’t change your will. A check that catches wording that reads like a gift before you print, since giving is your will’s job. And a saved file you open again whenever your will changes, so the letter never falls out of step with it.
What this is: A self-guided letter-writing tool for Canadians, with notes on where the law considers a letter like this, including British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec. Nothing is sent anywhere or stored anywhere. Your work saves to a file on your own computer.
What this is not: A will, or a change to your will. Not legal, financial, tax, or medical advice, and not a document preparation service. Always consult qualified professionals before making decisions that affect your estate.
