If you're making the Last Will there are 4 things that you
should think about.
1.
Who do I want to leave my property to after I
pass away?
2.
Who's the person that I want to appoint to take
care of all of my property and affairs after I die?
3.
You need to think about any responsibilities you
have to your loved ones to care for them after you die. Think children, think
elderly parents.
4.
Once you put your mind to all of that, you'll
get in contact with the lawyer and the lawyer will help you write your last
will.
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.
