Making a Will When you have Foreign Assets

Making a Will When you have Foreign Assets
Many Canadians have assets in other provinces and in other countries.  Whether its a winter home in Florida, a cottage in Quebec, or a bank account in Europe, you want to ensure that your will is sufficient to cover your assets outside the Province of Ontario.  Foreign jurisdictions may not accept your Ontario will or other estate planning documents. 

​A common solution is to make multiple wills for different provinces and countries.  You should consult a lawyer licensed to practice in those jurisdictions to ensure that your will complies with local laws.

We can guide you through the issues related to foreign property.  Reach out to us by phone or email for a complimentary consultation about your estate planning goals.   ​
