Frequently Asked Questions

Are ClearEstate's Wills legally valid in Ontario?

Yes, online Wills are valid in Ontario if they meet certain legal requirements, mainly if they are signed, witnessed and executed properly. Each province has its specific legal requirements which are explained in the section How to execute your Will that we provide with your generated document.

After you've created your Will with ClearEstate, you'll need to make sure it's signed alongside two witnesses. We'll give you detailed instructions with your Will once generated.

But rest assured, once executed properly, this Will is valid in Ontario!

Are ClearEstate’s Wills lawyer-approved?

Yes they are! Clauses contained in your Will have been carefully prepared by lawyers based on applicable jurisdictional legislation.

Is an online Will suitable for me?

Online wills are suitable for individuals with simple estate planning needs, such as married couples with children who want to leave assets to each other and then to their children. However, for more complex situations like blended families, disinheritance, or unique stipulations, the help of professionals is advisable. ClearEstate's online Will service is suitable for those with property in Canada, assets, children, pets, specific gifts, and charitable contributions in their estate, but more comprehensive planning is required for scenarios like owning property outside Canada, out-of-country executors, disinheritance, custom clauses, or special circumstances.

Do you need a lawyer to write a Will in Ontario?

No, Ontario law doesn't require a lawyer to create a valid will. Our online wills are lawyer-approved and comply with all Ontario legal requirements. However, for complex estates (business ownership, blended families, foreign assets), we recommend consulting our experienced estate team for more comprehensive estate plans.

Does my Will have to be notarized?

A Will in Ontario doesn't have to be notarized to be valid. However, the Will must be signed in the presence of two witnesses, who must also sign the Will as witnesses in the presence of the testator. These witnesses should be of legal age and sound mind and should not be beneficiaries or the spouse of a beneficiary. We'll give you detailed instructions with your Will once generated.

What happens if I die without a Will?

If you die without a Will, your estate will be distributed according to Ontario's succession law. This means the government will determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes.

Do you offer any other estate planning documents?

Yes, in addition to a Will, our Online Will product includes the generation of Power of Attorney for the protection of your person and property. Those documents allow you to appoint someone to handle your finances on your behalf and specify your healthcare preferences in case you can't make decisions for yourself.

What’s the difference between a Will and an estate plan

It is important to understand the difference between a Will and an estate plan because they are not created equal. A Will is just the tip of the iceberg, whereas an estate plan optimizes your estate’s value and contains information about every aspect of your estate, including all pertinent information and documentation.

What happens if I cancel my plan?

You will be granted access to your portal until your next billing cycle date. At that point, you will loose access to your portal and all information and documents available in it. Once your plan is cancelled, it can be reactivated but only if you are still on your initial billing cycle.
