Protect what you've built. Provide for who you love.

If you die intestate in Ontario, the Succession Law Reform Act determines how your estate is distributed — regardless of your wishes. Your spouse and children may not receive what you intended, and unmarried partners have no automatic entitlement. A will ensures your wishes are carried out.

Review your will after every major life event: marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a beneficiary, or significant change in assets. As a general rule, review every 3–5 years even without a major event to ensure your plan remains current and valid.

Probate is the court process that validates your will and authorizes your estate trustee to act. Not all estates require probate — it depends on the nature and value of your assets. We advise on whether probate is necessary and handle the full application if so.

A Power of Attorney allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Ontario has two types: one for property (financial decisions) and one for personal care (health and lifestyle decisions). Without one, your family may need to apply to court to make decisions for you.
