Why a lawyer-drafted will
A will that is not signed and witnessed correctly may be challenged. Gifts to a witness can fail. Changes in your life, such as separation, can change how your will works. We draft, sign and witness your documents properly, in person or by video.
Questions clients ask
What happens if I die without a will in Ontario?
Your estate is divided under a fixed formula. A married spouse receives the first $350,000 and shares the rest with any children. Common-law partners do not inherit automatically. See our wills guide.
Can my will be signed by video?
Yes. Ontario allows remote witnessing by video when one of the witnesses is a lawyer or paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Ontario.
Can you notarize documents for use outside Canada?
Yes. Some countries also require authentication of the document after notarization. We will tell you what the receiving country needs.
