Family Trust in Ottawa
A legally valid family trust built to Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act by a licensed attorney — for Ottawa residents, ready in minutes.
Family Trust rules for Ottawa residents
- Ottawa is in Ontario, so your family trust is governed by the Succession Law Reform Act.
- There is no separate municipal will law — Ontario legislation applies throughout Ottawa.
- Your document is prepared online and signed and witnessed wherever you are in Ottawa.
- A formal Ontario will must be signed in front of two witnesses, and each witness must sign in front of you and the other witness.
- Ontario recognises holograph wills — a will written wholly in your own handwriting and signed by you, with no witnesses required.
- A witness should not be a beneficiary; a gift to a witness can fail even where the will itself stands.
