Are You Prepared for the Unexpected?
For many Bangladeshi Canadian families, handling the finances and legal matters after the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming—especially when close relatives aren’t nearby. In our typical community, husbands often manage money, leaving spouses unprepared if the unexpected happens.
What We’ll Discuss
- From a financial perspective, what are the main ways the situation unfolds in the event of a sudden death of a loved one in Canada?
- How much do funeral services typically cost, and why is listing down all your assets important?
- How are homes and mortgages handled after death? What happens to bank accounts and investment accounts?
- What goes into an estate? What does probate mean?
- What happens when someone dies without a will?
- What notifications must be made to Canadian authorities like CRA, and what survivor benefits are available for spouses and minor children?
- What types of life insurance should you know about—workplace, individual, or creditor insurance?
- What are wills, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations—and how do you protect your family?
