Why is it important to have a will?
A will is the easiest, most effective way to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, and to provide for the people and causes you care most about. A properly planned will can reduce or even eliminate the taxes on your estate. A will is a gift you make today for tomorrow.

Why did SickKids get a government grant?
