Family members who were financially dependent upon a deceased person may be entitled to claim support from the deceased’s Estate.
If the deceased's will doesn't provide for these obligations, the support recipient can apply in court to request the support they are owed.
Under Ontario Succession Law Reform Act, support may be claimed by a spouse, parent, child, or sibling of the deceased. A court will decide on entitlement, amount and duration of the support.
