Will – Specific Bequests, Request to be Cremated, Residue to Several People in Disproportionate (Canada)

Creating a Last Will & Testament is a key part of financial planning, no matter how young or healthy you may be. It's essential to plan for the future of your survivors, and a Will is the most important legal document you can create to ensure that they won't be entangled in a lengthy probate process.

This Will is specifically designed for the situation where the testator (the person making the will) first instructs the executor (also known as the trustee) to distribute specific bequests to specified recipients. The remainder, after the testator’s debts are paid off, (referred to as the residue) will then be distributed to other named beneficiaries of the testator’s choosing.

This will also includes language where the testator instructs the executor/trustees that he/she desires to be cremated.
