Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: Public Policy and Your Last Will


A last will cannot have provisions that run contrary to public policy.

For instance, a will cannot discriminate against a family member because of their…

Religion
marital status, or
sexual orientation

It cannot encourage people to do illegal acts.

A court can refuse to uphold any provision in a last will that is contrary to public policy.
