Inheritance Wars: The High Cost of Estate Planning Mistakes
Have you ever wondered what would happen if your will was outdated?
John hadn’t thought about it in years. His will still named his ex-wife as a beneficiary, didn’t include his youngest child, and left his second wife with far less than they had planned. He never expected it would lead to a bitter court battle, with his family struggling to understand everything.
Unfortunately, John’s story isn’t unique. More than 70% of estate disputes come from outdated or incomplete wills. And it’s not just the legal battles—families are left dealing with emotional stress at the worst possible time.
Life gets busy, and it’s easy to put off updating your will. But a few minutes of planning can save your loved ones from years of heartache. If your will hasn’t been updated, or you don’t have one, now’s the time.
Let’s make sure your family, business and legacy are protected.

It’s a question no one wants to think about, but I’ve seen firsthand what happens when we don’t plan ahead. One of my clients thought his affairs were in order, only to find his ex-wife was still listed as the beneficiary on his RRSP. His current wife wasn’t exactly thrilled. We caught it in time, but what if we hadn’t?
Life gets busy, and updating your will probably feels like something you can push off. An outdated or incomplete will can leave your family with years of stress, confusion, and financial strain at the worst possible time.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. A few minutes of planning today can save your loved ones from years of heartache tomorrow.
