Securing Your Legacy in Ontario: Wills, Powers of Attorney & Estate Disputes
At TMB Law, we understand that planning for the future means more than drafting documents—it means protecting your legacy, your loved ones, and your wishes. Our experienced legal team in Ontario offers comprehensive services in Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Estate Disputes, helping you prepare with confidence and clarity.
Wills in Ontario: Protecting What Matters Most
A Will is a vital legal document that ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes upon your passing. While not legally required, dying without a Will—also known as intestate—means your estate will be distributed under Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act, which may not reflect your true intentions.
At TMB Law, we help you:
-
Draft a clear, legally enforceable Will
-
Appoint executors and guardians for minor children
-
Structure asset distribution to align with your goals
-
Avoid costly legal challenges and delays for your beneficiaries
A well-crafted Will is more than a formality—it’s a statement of your values and a lasting gift to those you care about.
Powers of Attorney: Planning for Incapacity
In addition to your Will, it’s crucial to prepare for the possibility of mental incapacity during your lifetime. In Ontario, there are two types of Power of Attorney (POA):
-
Power of Attorney for Property – Manages your financial affairs
-
Power of Attorney for Personal Care – Makes decisions about your health and personal well-being
At TMB Law, we ensure your POA documents:
-
Reflect your specific wishes
-
Legally empower a trusted individual to act on your behalf
-
Are drafted in compliance with Ontario’s Substitute Decisions Act
A POA ceases upon death, at which point your Will takes legal effect. Together, these instruments create a comprehensive estate plan to safeguard your interests.
