There’s a popular misconception that if I die without a last
will everything goes to the government. That's actually not true.
If you die without a last will in Ontario there is a whole
system in the law for who gets your property after you die.
If you have a spouse everything is left to your spouse, if
you have a spouse and children everything is divided between your spouse and
your children, and if you don't have a spouse or children everything is divided
between your closest living family members.
