Pledge to Make a Will and Alzheimer Society Ontario Will Send You a Digital Estate Planner & Guide to Help You Get Started!

If you have assets, you need a Will. But are you like over half of Canadians who might not have planned for the final distribution of the assets that took an entire lifetime to build?

Age is the most important risk factor for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. It is crucial that Canadians complete a valid and up-to-date Will and Powers of Attorney for Property and Personal Care before any potential capacity issues arise. We are urging everyone to complete their Will and Powers of Attorney.

Consider these startling facts:

  • More than 50% of Canadians do not have a proper Will.
  • More than 70% of Canadians do not have Powers of Attorney for Personal Care and Property.
  • One in 10 Ontarians over the age of 65 is living with dementia.
  • Currently over 500,000 Canadians are living with dementia
  • The number of people living with dementia is expected to nearly double within the next 8 years to 912,000.
  • Women represent 72% of all Canadians living with Alzheimer's disease.
  • The federal government provides tax breaks to Canadians who leave a charitable gift in their Will.

When dementia and procrastination team up, they can wreak havoc. If mental capacity issues arise, you will not be able to sign legal documents. Court proceedings may be necessary to access your finances or health records. This process can be time-consuming, expensive and stressful. Please don't procrastinate. Get started today!

At the Alzheimer Society, we believe completing your Will and Powers of Attorney for Personal Care and Property makes you a Super Hero. Why? Because you are protecting those you care about, your assets and, if you leave a charitable bequest to the Alzheimer Society in your Will, you will help us defeat dementia. Gain peace of mind by pledging to make a will today!
