Wills and Estate Law

Secure Your Future and Protect Your Interests

Planning for the future and ensuring the proper distribution of your assets is a critical step in securing your legacy. At Pegasus Law, we specialize in providing comprehensive and reliable wills and estate law services in Ontario to help you navigate this important aspect of your life.

To ensure proper estate planning, it is advisable to create a will once you have reached the age of majority and own substantial assets. However, certain exceptions allow for the creation of a will at a younger age, such as being on active duty with the armed forces or getting married before reaching the age of majority. This applies to both pre-death documents, including powers of attorney.

It is important to note that in the absence of a will, the Succession Act comes into effect, determining the distribution of your assets and property. Without clear instructions in a will, your estate may be subject to the government’s disposition if you have no heirs.

By proactively creating a will, you have the opportunity to designate beneficiaries and ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. This allows you to have control over the distribution of your estate, providing financial security and peace of mind for your loved ones.

If you require professional guidance and assistance with wills and powers of attorney in Ontario, Pegasus Law is here to help. Schedule a consultation with our experienced team to discuss your unique requirements and take the necessary steps to secure your future and protect your interests.

Will Review & Updates

Regularly reviewing and updating your will is essential to keep it in line with your current circumstances and preferences.

Our team can assist you in reviewing and updating your will, making necessary adjustments to reflect any changes in your situation.

Establishing a power of attorney is crucial to designate a trusted individual who can make important decisions on your behalf in the event of incapacity. We provide guidance and assistance in drafting both the Power of Attorney for Personal Care and Power of Attorney for Property documents. Our team will ensure that your instructions are clearly outlined, protecting your interests and providing you with peace of mind.
