Canada Immigration FAQ - Migrating to the Province of Quebec

Immigration Question : What options do I have to immigrate through the Province of Quebec?

Answer: The Province of Quebec has its own immigration system. Due to the fact that I am not licensed to practice law in Quebec, I can’t really advise you on these programs. While the programs are in many respects similar to the federal or provincial nominee programs, there are significant differences as well.
If you ultimately plan on living in Quebec, you should consult with a Quebec immigration lawyer about your options in that province.

Alberta Wills and Estate Planning for Gay and Lesbian Couples

Alberta Wills and Estate Planning Question : Are there any special considerations that go into estate planning for gay and lesbian couples?

Answer:

In Alberta, from a legal point of view a gay or lesbian couple is the same as a heterosexual couple. A more relevant factor may be whether or not the couple has children.

A childless couple will often want to appoint adult nieces and nephews, or even younger adult friends, as alternate executors for the wills, alternate attorneys for the powers of attorney, and alternate representatives for the personal directives. On the other hand, a couple with adult children will typically appoint one or more of the children as alternate representatives.

Alberta Estate Planning Frequently Asked Question - Joint Will or Two Wills

Estate Planning Question : With a husband and wife, would you prepare one joint will or two wills?

Answer:

Some jurisdictions allow for joint wills. However, my practice is to prepare two wills, one for each spouse. I think joint wills have too many drawbacks. In particular, a husband and wife’s wishes are not always in line. For example, the husband may wish for one of his siblings to be his alternate executor, and the wife may wish for one of her siblings to be her alternate executor. In all likelihood, one spouse will predecease the other, rather than both dying at the same time. Since a joint will may be probated for the spouse who dies first, the second spouse would then likely have to do another will anyway.
