👉Swipe to Learn What Happens if You Die Without a Will 👈 Creating a will ensures your wishes are respected and your loved ones are taken care of. But what happens if you pass away without one? 🤔 Here's how your estate would be handled in BC according to the Wills, Estates, and Succession Act (WESA): 1️⃣ Spouse But No Descendants: Your spouse receives everything. 2️⃣ Spouse and Descendants: Distribution becomes complex with preferential shares and remaining estate splits. 3️⃣ Two or More Spouses: The court may decide if they can't agree. 4️⃣ No Spouse, But Descendants or Relatives: Estate is distributed to family in a specific order. 5️⃣ Government: If no relatives can be found, the estate escheats to the government. Without a will, your estate might not be distributed according to your personal wishes. ✍️ A will allows you to: • Specify who receives your assets • Choose an executor • Provide for minor children • Avoid family disputes • Support charitable causes Your will is essential for securing your legacy. 🌟 Need help drafting your will?
