Are you certain your family and your business would stay protected if something happened to you tomorrow?

Most business owners assume a simple will is enough—until a crisis exposes gaps they never saw coming. In this episode, estate and legacy expert David Edey breaks down why so many Canadian families end up in years-long legal battles, even when wills exist.

You’ll walk away knowing:

• Why wills fail—and the conversations every family must have to avoid messy court fights and broken relationships.
• How to safeguard your business through succession plans, executor preparation, and simple mechanisms that prevent partners from being forced into unwanted arrangements.
• The practical tools—like red-envelope systems, digital-asset planning, and legacy blueprints—that make this the greatest gift of love you can leave behind.
