  • Testamentary autonomy in Alberta
  • What revokes a will
  • Simple things like what is required to make a will in the province
  • What age are you able to make a will
  • Dying Intestate
  • Should registered plans and life insurance policies be listed in wills
  • What if you have a corporation, use of dual wills is used in other provinces – use in Alberta
  • How forgiveness of debt can be incorporated into the will
  • Requirement for wills with assets in other provinces, or assets in AB
  • Use of multiple Testamentary trusts for children
  • Differences for spouses or “common-law”
  • Power of Attorney’s – springing, etc.

She loves to assist clients in exploring their estate plans to create comprehensive Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, and Personal Directives that feel right for each of her clients and to ensure that their wishes and intentions are understood and conveyed in their planning documents.

Lindsey is the Chair for the Canadian Bar Association, Wills, Estates, and Trusts Section (National), and a member of the executive of the Canadian Bar Association, Wills, Estates, and Trust Section (Alberta South).
