An example:

Imagine a couple in their early 40s, raising two children in Halifax, with a mortgage, some savings, and modest investments. They assume estate planning is something to deal with later in life. However, if one parent were suddenly unable to make decisions due to illness or accident, their family could face significant legal and financial challenges. By working with Ross Estate Law, they are able to create wills, name guardians for their children, set up powers of attorney, and prepare healthcare directives—ensuring their children are protected and decisions are made according to their wishes.
