Session 1: Wills & Power of Attorney
Speaker: Carolyn J. N. Knight of Viner, Kennedy, Frederick, Allan & Tobias LLP
Tuesday, February 14, 2023
Noon-1:30pm
Wills and Power of Attorney can be confusing, complicated, and uncomfortable topics for many people, but they are incredibly important.
This first session in our Lunch & Learn Series will cover a range of issues related to Wills and Power of Attorney, including what they are, the difference between them, what happens when you don’t have them in place, what is needed to complete the documents, probate, associated costs and fees, and more.
We are honoured and excited to have Carolyn J. N. Knight as our guest speaker to guide us through this topic.
