Current Limitation
At this time when using Willful, you can't name a backup for specific gifts (legacies in Quebec) if the beneficiary (legatee in Quebec) passes away before you.
What Happens to Unclaimed Gifts
If the gift can't go to the intended recipient, it becomes part of the residue of your estate.
Updating Your Will
- Predeceased Beneficiary: If your chosen beneficiary predeceases you, you can update your will anytime at no extra charge.
- Execution Steps: To make the updated will official and revoke previous versions, you must follow the steps to execute your updated will.
