Wills & Estates law in Ontario: what to know

In Ontario, planning for incapacity usually means a continuing power of attorney for property and a power of attorney for personal care. Ask your lawyer which documents fit your situation.

How to choose a wills and estates lawyer in Windsor

Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Ontario.
Ask how much of their practice is wills and estates, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What is covered in your fee, including signing and witnessing?
How often should I update my will, and what events should trigger it?
Can you also prepare my powers of attorney?
How do you handle a will for a blended family or a business owner?
If a family member has died, what will you handle and what do I need to do?
How are your fees for estate administration calculated?

What to bring

A list of your assets and debts
The names and details of the people you want to name
Any existing will, powers of attorney or beneficiary designations
Details of any business or property held with others
The death certificate, if you are dealing with an estate

How the process usually works

You describe your family, assets and wishes in a first meeting.
The lawyer drafts the documents and reviews them with you.
You sign with the required witnesses, usually at the lawyer's office.
The originals are stored safely and you are told where they are.
For an estate, the lawyer prepares the court application, notifies beneficiaries and distributes the estate.

Costs and fees

Simple wills and powers of attorney are often quoted as a flat fee. Estate administration is more variable, so ask whether the quote is flat, hourly or a percentage. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
