Let's face it, most of us do not think about the tires on our vehicles until we run into a problem....and that problem may be a major inconvenience at best; an accident at worst. Having your vehicle serviced by people that you trust is an absolute must.

Buying a used vehicle - Information on Inspections:

Is it time for you to get a different vehicle? If it is, we can help! Buying a vehicle doesn’t have to be a gamble. When you buy a used vehicle, having a pre-purchase inspection is ...one of the best investments you can make. Depending on the year of the vehicle and your comfort level with the vehicle we can assist you in choosing how thorough an inspection to do.

When a vehicle has passed a safety inspection, it doesn’t mean that in a few months the vehicle won’t need thousands of dollars in maintenance or repairs. Safety inspections do not inspect the complete vehicle. The engine state of tune, cooling system, transmission condition etc. are not taken into account, and components such as brakes, tires or steering components only need to pass the minimum standard and could require replacement 2 months after you purchase the vehicle.

Some things to be aware of when searching for that new vehicle are (when you drive the vehicle): Does it feel tight or does it “rattle” as you drive? Does the previous owner have the maintenance history to show you? And will the owner allow you to have the vehicle inspected? Be aware of a vehicle advertised as “It’s a great car, I’ve never had to do anything.” This can mean the new owner will need to spend a lot of money to “do” what the previous owner neglected.

tip on Being an Executor - an honour or a burden? 

Many of us have received a request from a friend or family member to act as the executor of their estate. Acting as an executor can be a daunting task that takes time, knowledge and patience. When acting as an executor, you owe a duty of care to all persons interested in the estate, so the role should not be taken lightly. Before you accept the role of executor, consider the following:

1. Availability – As an executor, you face sudden and intense demands on your time, especially at the beginning of the settlement of the estate.
2. Complexity – Generally, the larger an estate, the more complex tasks you will have to complete as the executor. This could include dealing with foreign investments or property, business succession, and family law issues.
3. Competency – To act as an executor, you should have familiarity with basic financial concepts and some technical knowledge of business, law, tax and accounting is helpful.
4. Relationships – Handling an estate is not just about getting the job done. Emotions are high as heirs deal with their grief and the executor must be able to deal with difficult issues in a way that preserves harmony among all concerned.

When considering who you should name as the executor to your own estate, be sure to choose someone with the competency, objectivity and emotional intelligence to fill the role well. 

You can also make their lives easier in fulfilling the executor role by considering the following:

·         Approach the person in advance of finalizing your Will to ensure they are willing to take on this important role on your death.

·         Identify professional advisors who are familiar with your affairs such as accountants, lawyers, and investment advisors.

·         Make sure that your Will is up to date and valid in your province of residence.

·         Document your personal property, assets and liabilities and tell your executor where to find this information (e.g. safety deposit box)

·         Ensure that your Will allows the executor to receive reasonable compensation for their work on your estate.

The role of executor can be challenging but with some careful thought and proper estate planning in advance, you can ensure that the estate will be settled smoothly.
