Wills & Estates — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need powers of attorney as well as a will?
Yes. A will takes effect on death, while powers of attorney let someone you trust manage your property and personal care if you become unable to do so during your lifetime.
What is a secondary will?
Business owners in Ontario often use a primary and a secondary will so that private company shares can pass without probate fees on their value.
