Wills and probate law in Canada deals with the planning, administration, and distribution of a person’s estate after death. Having a legally valid will ensures your wishes are honoured, your loved ones are protected, and unnecessary complications are avoided.
Probate refers to the legal process of validating a will and administering an estate. If someone dies without a will (intestate), the law determines how their estate is distributed — which may not reflect their intentions.
