What is a Last Will and Testament and why do I need one?
A Last Will and Testament, often simply referred to as a Will, is a legal document that allows you to express your wishes regarding the distribution of your property and assets after your death. It can also include provisions for the guardianship of minor children.
Creating a Will is crucial as it ensures that your wishes are honored after your death. Without a Will, your estate will be divided according to Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act, which may not align with your preferences.
What are the formal requirements to create a will?
Creating a valid will in Ontario requires meeting several formal requirements as per the Succession Law Reform Act. Firstly, you, as the testator, must be at least 18 years old and of sound mind.
The will must be in writing. While handwritten (holograph) wills are permitted, most wills are typed. The will must be signed by you and this signature should ideally be at the end of the document.
What happens if someone passes away without a will in Ontario?
If someone passes away without a Will in Ontario, they are considered to have died “intestate”. In this case, Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act determines how the estate is distributed.
Without a Will, there’s also no appointed executor, so a family member or other interested party must apply to the court to be appointed as the estate trustee.
