FAQs
Do I Need a Will?
Do I Need to Open Probate if My Spouse Dies?
It depends on how your assets are held. Joint assets like shared bank accounts and property usually pass directly to the surviving spouse without probate. However, assets in your spouse’s name alone, including certain investments, vehicles, or property, typically require probate. An estate planning lawyer can review your situation and help determine if probate is necessary. Some estates can be settled without full probate, saving time and money for grieving families.
What is a Will, and When Do I Need It?
A will is a legal document that states how property and assets will be distributed after death. It names an executor to manage the estate, guardians for minor children, and specific instructions for distributing possessions and money. If someone dies without a will, provincial laws automatically decide who gets what – often leading to unintended outcomes.
