One of the most common questions we get asked is, why do I need a Will? Having your Will in place can help prevent disputes from arising between your family members and loved ones. It’s a way to ensure that your wishes are respected, and your estate is administered and distributed the way you want.

If you die without a Will in place, you will be considered to have died “intestate” and the Ontario Succession Law Reform Act will dictate who inherits your estate. This may be different from your wishes. For example, if you have a spouse and minor children, your spouse may not inherit your entire estate if you die without a Will.

With a Will you can elect your estate trustee (also known as executor) and your beneficiaries. You can control at what age a minor is to receive an inheritance and name who you would like to see appointed as guardian for any minor children. We offer the following wills & estates services:

• Power of Attorney
• Testamentary Trusts
• Wills
