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.

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
