In Ontario, anyone over the age of eighteen (18) years can prepare a Will provided the person does not suffer from any mental impairment.
A Will is a legal document that sets out an individual’s wishes and instructions regarding the distribution of their assets and the management of their affairs after their death.
In Ontario, if a person dies without a Will his or her property will be divided according to the rules set out in the Succession Law Reform Act. Without a Will, the deceased’s belongings will be subjected to the law of the Province of Ontario.
