Question to all good Canadians out there who may know more about a Canadian Will

[florin1106]

Hello there..

I am a Canadian 71 years old and I was wondering if one day i will have to << sign out >> do i have to have a Valid Canadian Will in order my legitimate wife to have access to my Canadian Bank account ? I do not entertain the idea that some money I  have inside my  Royal Bank will go to the government coffers As Estate !!! is it possible this whole thing ? do i need to have one done in Canada and Notarized here ? or Notarized in Canada and emailed here ? what would be the steps to do it correctly ?
