What is Probate in Ontario — and when is it required? 🤔📄

Probate is the legal process where the Ontario court confirms that a will is valid and that the executor has the authority to manage the estate.

Once approved, the court issues a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee.

Probate is usually required when: • The deceased owned real estate in their name alone • Financial institutions ask for it before releasing funds • There are significant assets without a named beneficiary 
Probate may NOT be needed when: • Assets are jointly owned (like a home with a spouse, joint bank accounts) • Accounts have named beneficiaries (RRSPs, TFSAs, insurance) • The estate is small and institutions or insurance companies waive the requirement

Why it matters: probate can affect timelines, costs, and estate administration, so understanding when it applies can save stress and money.

📌 Every estate is different — professional advice is key.

Having a will is essential because it ensures your wishes are clearly followed, protects your loved ones, and helps avoid unnecessary stress, delays, and legal costs after you’re gone.

📢 Important Update for New Home Buyers Buying New Build Freehold Properties! 🏡
Starting July 1, 2025, Tarion is implementing new rules in attempt to better protect purchasers and combat illegal vendor/builder activity.

🛡️ What’s Changing?
If you are buying a new freehold home, you must now register your Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) on the Tarion portal within 45 days of signing.

✅ Why It Matters:
Registering on time ensures you are eligible for the maximum deposit protection available under Tarion.

⚠️ Missed the Deadline?
If you do not register—or register after 45 days of signing the APS—you may still qualify for coverage, but you will not be provided full coverage.

💡 Tip: Protect your investment—mark your calendar and register ASAP after signing your APS!

This change is new and still in progress.

✅ Existing NOSIs are deemed expired
❌ New residential NOSIs are banned

🖊️ STANDARD WILL vs CORPORATE WILL in ONTARIO ⚖️
Do you really need two wills? If you’re a business owner in Ontario… the answer might be YES.

🔹 Standard Will
Covers your personal assets — home, vehicles, bank accounts, personal belongings, and guardianship of minors. It’s the will most people have (and need).

🔹 Corporate Will
Specifically deals with your business assets — like shares in a private corporation. Why? Because using a separate will for corporate assets can help avoid probate on those shares — meaning faster transfers and potential tax savings. 💼✅

💡 In Ontario, dual wills are legally allowed and commonly used by entrepreneurs to protect both personal and business legacies.

📥 Want to know if this strategy fits your estate plan? Call us Today 416-818-4000 — we’re here to help you do it right.
