Wills lawyers serving Clarkson
Estate Planning & Wills Lawyers in Clarkson, Mississauga
A will is the one legal document almost every adult in Clarkson needs and most still do not have. Without one, Ontario's Succession Law Reform Act decides who inherits — a formula that ignores common-law partners, splits things in ways you might not choose, and leaves the court to appoint whoever steps forward to administer everything.

We draft wills for families near the Clarkson GO and Southdown Road area in south Mississauga that actually fit their lives: guardians for minor children, trusts so young beneficiaries do not inherit everything at 18, and secondary wills that save business owners real Estate Administration Tax.

Wills questions from Clarkson
What makes a will valid in Ontario?+
Generally: written, signed at the end by you, in the presence of two witnesses who also sign — witnesses should not be beneficiaries or their spouses. Ontario also permanently allows virtual witnessing by audio-visual communication with conditions, including a Law Society licensee as one witness.
Does marriage or separation change my will?+
Separation and divorce can change how parts of a will operate, and life events change what the will should say. Review your will at every major life change — marriage, separation, children, a business, a property purchase in Clarkson.
What is a secondary will and do I need one?+
A second will covering assets that do not need a Certificate of Appointment — typically private-company shares. Those assets then skip Estate Administration Tax (about 1.5% above $50,000), which for business owners can mean tens of thousands saved.
What does a will package cost?+
Wills and powers of attorney are quoted as a flat fee at a paid consultation ($199 per half-hour, CAD). Couples' packages are priced together; we are about 20 minutes via the QEW and Hurontario Street.
