What Happens if you Die without a Will in Ontario?
If you die without a will in Ontario, your property and assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestate succession.
These laws aim to fairly distribute the deceased person’s assets among their relatives. Typically, a close relative must apply to the court to be appointed as the estate trustee without a will, and if there’s a dispute, a judge may decide on the appropriate trustee. The surviving spouse has certain rights and may receive a preferential share, and the remaining assets are distributed among other relatives, such as children. If there are no surviving relatives, the estate may go to the government.
It’s essential to create a will to ensure your assets are distributed according to your preferences.
Involved in a Property Dispute?
A property dispute can involve any type of real estate, from homes and apartments to empty lots and roads. Many different people can be involved in a property dispute, including:
- Homeowners
- Landlords
- Tenants
- Neighbors
- Property visitors and trespassers
- Family members
- Homeowners’ associations
- Government agencies
What To Do If You're In A Property Dispute?
If you are in a complicated legal situation that relates to your property, there are several steps you can take. We suggest you begin by doing your best to understand the problem and talk with the other party; if you can’t easily resolve the issue, you may wish to hire an attorney. A property lawyer can ensure property contracts are being respected. They can also offer legal advice to help you deal with a difficult landlord or tenant.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of preparing for the transfer of a person’s assets after they pass away. Estate planning lawyers can help individuals create wills, trusts, and other legal documents to ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes.

Estate litigation can arise when there is a dispute over a will, trust, or other estate-related matter. Estate litigation lawyers can represent clients in court and help them resolve disputes related to the distribution of assets.
Probate
Probate is a legal process that takes place after someone passes away, and a probate lawyer can provide a range of services to help guide clients through this process, including advising clients on the probate process, drafting and reviewing wills, representing clients in court, and managing the administrative aspects of the probate process.
