Wills, Power of Attorney and Estate Services

Planning for the future is essential to protect your assets, ensure your wishes are respected, and provide peace of mind for your loved ones. A properly drafted Will and Powers of Attorney will help you maintain control over important financial, legal, and healthcare decisions.

Absent a Will, your estate will be distributed according to Ontario’s intestacy laws, which may not accurately reflect your wishes. Similarly, absent Powers of Attorney, your loved ones may face delays and legal challenges in managing your affairs if you become incapacitated.

Our firm offers comprehensive Estate Planning services, including:

  • Wills - Ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes and minimize legal complications for your beneficiaries
  • Corporate Wills – Protect business assets separately from your personal estate to ensure continuity and tax efficiency
  • Power of Attorney for Personal Care – Appoint a trusted person to make healthcare and personal care decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so
  • Power of Attorney for Property – Authorize someone to manage your financial affairs, including banking, real estate, and investments, in case of incapacity

Probate is the legal process of confirming an executor's authority to manage and distribute a deceased person's estate. In Ontario, this is done by applying for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee from the court. The probate process ensures that the Will (if there is one) is legally recognized and that the estate can then be administered in accordance with Ontario law.

We also offer the following Estate services:

  • Application for Certificate of Appointment with or without a Will – Assist executors in obtaining a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee to administer an estate efficiently
  • Opinion Letters for the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) – Provide the necessary legal documentation to facilitate the transfer of a deceased person's vehicle to the rightful beneficiary or estate trustee

Whether you need to prepare a Will, grant Powers of Attorney, navigate the probate process, or handle vehicle ownership transfers after a loved one’s passing, our firm is here to guide you every step of the way.
