Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: How Does Marriage Affect Your Existing Will?


Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: How Does Marriage Affect Your Existing Will? #law #legal #EstatePlanning

When a person is married in Ontario, the marriage automatically revokes a prior Last Will made by that person.

The sole exception to this rule is a Last Will that is specifically made in anticipation of an upcoming marriage to a specific person.

If you are marrying, seek legal advice as to any changes that are required to update your existing will and to ensure your will is valid.
