Living Will for Single Adults in British Columbia
A legally valid living will built to British Columbia’s Wills, Estates and Succession Act by a licensed attorney — written with single adults without children in mind.
What single adults without children should know
- Without a will, your estate follows a default order — usually parents, then siblings — regardless of who is actually closest to you.
- Intestacy rules follow bloodlines, not relationships. Friends and partners get nothing by default.
- Choose who acts for you — with no spouse, there is no obvious default decision-maker.
- A will is the only way to leave anything to a charity or a friend.
- British Columbia follows British Columbia law — your living will is governed by the Wills, Estates and Succession Act.
- In British Columbia you must be at least 16 years old and mentally capable to make a will — a will made under 16 is not valid (WESA s.36).
- Your will must be signed at its end in the presence of two or more witnesses present at the same time, and signed by those witnesses in your presence (WESA s.37).
