Estate Administration

Estate planning and estate administration are two of the most important legal processes your family will ever navigate. At Ontario Wills & Estates, we focus exclusively on these areas — giving you the depth of knowledge and personal attention that general practice firms simply cannot match.
Estate Planning in Ontario
Estate planning is the process of preparing legal documents that protect your assets, express your wishes, and provide for your loved ones after you are gone. A comprehensive estate plan typically includes a last will and testament, powers of attorney for property and personal care, healthcare directives, and where appropriate, trusts.
Without a proper estate plan, Ontario’s intestacy laws determine how your assets are distributed — which may not reflect your wishes. Proper planning ensures your loved ones are protected, your estate avoids unnecessary probate fees, and your legacy is preserved on your terms.
Our estate planning services include simple and complex wills, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, family trusts, and Henson trusts for beneficiaries with special needs.
Estate Administration in Ontario
When a loved one passes away, the executor named in their will is responsible for administering the estate. This process — which includes obtaining a certificate of appointment of estate trustee (probate), notifying beneficiaries, paying debts and taxes, and distributing assets — can be complex and emotionally draining.
At Ontario Wills & Estates, we guide executors through every step of the administration process, reducing stress and ensuring the estate is handled correctly and efficiently. We also assist beneficiaries who have questions or concerns about how an estate is being managed.
