Introduction to Preparing Your Will
This publication from People's Law School is for people who are making a will in British Columbia. It explains what is involved in making a will, what to consider in appointing an executor, and what to do after making your will. This edition reflects the "Wills, Estates and Succession Act", which became law in 2014.
The information is produced for educational purposes and is not intended as legal advice. If you need advice about a specific legal problem, please contact a legal professional. Some sources of legal help are highlighted in the Where to Get Help section.
We have tried to use clear language throughout. See the Glossary section for definitions of key legal terms.
