Real Estate for Executors, London Ontario, Briefs:

Legal

A lawyer will ensure you carry out your duties as an executor without raising any questions among the beneficiaries.

Probate

Probate is a legal process that proves the will is valid in court. You can’t do anything with the property until the Letters of Administration are filed and approved, temporarily transferring the property title to you. 

No Will

When a person dies without a valid will, it is called intestacy. Ontario’s Succession Law Reform Act sets out how the estate is distributed when this happens. Generally, when a person dies without a will, the people who can inherit their estate include their spouse and closest next-of-kin. A common law spouse does not inherit under the Succession Law Reform Act.

The Difference Between Power of Attorney (POA) and Executor

An executor acts on behalf of an estate after death. They care for probate, pay final taxes, and distribute assets to your beneficiaries. A power of attorney (POA) has the legal authority to act on your behalf while you’re still alive.

Assets exempt from probate

  • Property with joint ownership with another person.
  • Real estate/property owned outside of Ontario.
  • Joint accounts with a beneficiary designation.
  • Investment and savings accounts with beneficiary designations such as RRSPs, TFSAs, and RRIFs.
  • CPP Death benefits.
  • Property held in a living trust.
