Update on Wills and Estates Services

Wills and Estates planning is about making sure your wishes are known if you pass away or become unable to make decisions for yourself. This planning helps protect your family, your home, and your belongings, and can make things easier for your loved ones during a difficult time.

A Will is a legal document that says what should happen to your money, belongings, and property after you pass away. It can also name someone to take care of your children.

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that lets someone you trust make decisions for you if you are sick, injured, or unable to make decisions on your own. 

Nipissing First Nation is no longer able to prepare Wills for members. This change is due to staffing changes, and there is currently no certified staff member available to prepare Wills.

NFN will still be able to:

  • Prepare Powers of Attorney
  • Safely store Wills for members who already have one
