Will for Business Owners in Ontario
A will built to Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act and designed by a licensed lawyer — written with business owners in mind.
What business owners should know
- A business does not run itself while an estate is settled. Without a plan, staff, customers and value can be lost in the gap.
- Say who takes over or winds down the business, and give your executor authority to act quickly.
- A Power of Attorney matters more for owners — incapacity can stop a business as effectively as death.
- Check whether a shareholders' or partnership agreement already governs what happens to your share.
- Ontario follows Ontario law — your will is governed by the Succession Law Reform Act.
- 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.
