- FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A Will is essential for everyone, regardless of the size of your estate. Without a Will, the government determines how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. A Will also allows you to appoint a guardian for minor children.
If you die without a Will (intestate), your assets are distributed according to Ontario's intestacy laws. The government determines who inherits your property, which may not be consistent with your wishes. It also means you have no say in who administers your estate or who cares for your minor children.
You should review and update your Will every 3 to 5 years, or whenever there is a major life event such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or a significant change in your financial situation.
A Will takes effect after you pass away, outlining how your assets should be distributed. A Power of Attorney takes effect during your lifetime if you become unable to make decisions, allowing someone you trust to manage your property or personal care on your behalf.
