Estate planning in Canada involves arranging the transmission of wealth at death to ensure that one\'s wishes are respected and that dependants are provided for. Probate is the legal procedure that confirms the existence of a will and allows the executor to control and disburse the estate. It\'s important to note that effective estate planning goes beyond just creating a will; it also involves trusts, RRSP/RRIF beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives.
