WILLS & ESTATES

Family estate planning involves a number of different legal devices for the transferral of prop-

erty after one’s death. A will is the most commonly employed, but trusts are also frequently

used. As this topic deals with property, it is fully in the sphere of the provinces’ articulated

powers and each has legislative acts dealing with the administration of estates. Related topics:

SUCCESSIONS

Branche du droit civil, les successions occupent un livre entier du Code civil du Québec. La pla-

nif‌ication successorale est souvent étudiée avec la FISCALITÉ.
