Practical not just legal Ontario WillsPractical, Not Just Legal

We explain your options clearly and document your plan so it works when your family needs it.

Wills and estate planning documents often face real-world scrutiny from financial institutions, executors, other lawyers, and—when applicable—the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. We draft with that in mind.

Documents should be clear enough to administer and strong enough to withstand questions later.
