You’re Not Too Young for Estate Planning

If you're in your 20s or 30s and you haven't sorted out yourestate planning yet, you're not alone. Most people in this age group have it on the list somewhere between "call the dentist" and "learn to make sourdough." It doesn't feel urgent. It feels like something for later.This week's episode is about what later actually looks like when it arrives unexpectedly. We talk through what happens when a young adult loses capacity or dies without a will or incapacity documents in place and why the people who love them most can end up completely powerless despite the best intentions.We also cover why singles and childfree adults are more exposed than they realize, why common-law relationships carry legal assumptions that aren't true in most provinces, and why the incapacity documents are the ones most young people have never thought about at all.If you've been waiting until life feels more settled to deal with this, this episode is your sign that settled enough is right now.Read the article.
