When should I consider making a will?

You should make a will as soon as you have dependents, property, savings, or anything you want to control after your death. Most people benefit from having a will long before retirement.

Why is having a will important in Ontario?

A will ensures your wishes are followed, your executor is chosen by you, and your estate is distributed according to your instructions. Without a will, Ontario’s intestacy laws decide who receives your assets.

Should I make a will if I’m young and healthy?

Yes. A will is not only for older adults. Young professionals, new parents, and homeowners often have assets, responsibilities, or digital property that require clear instructions.

Do I need a will if I don’t own a home?

Yes. Even without real estate, you may have savings, personal belongings, insurance benefits, or sentimental items that you want distributed properly.

Should I update my will after major life changes?

You should update your will after marriage, separation, having children, buying property, or any significant change in your family or financial situation.

What happens if I die without a will in Ontario?

Your estate is distributed according to Ontario’s intestacy rules, which may result in unexpected outcomes, delays, or disputes — especially in blended families or situations involving common-law partners.
