Wills & Estate Administration

Yazhi Law assists individuals and families with preparing wills and navigating estate administration. We provide clear, practical guidance to help clients document their wishes and support executors in understanding and carrying out their responsibilities.

Wills

A well-prepared will sets out who will receive your assets and who will manage your estate, giving your family clear direction when it matters most. We take the time to understand your family and your assets, explain your options in plain language, and prepare a will that reflects your wishes.

• Preparing new wills for individuals and couples
• Choosing executors (estate trustees) and, where needed, guardians for minor children
• Reviewing and updating existing wills after life changes such as marriage, separation, the birth of a child, a move, or the purchase or sale of property
• Wills for clients with family members or assets outside Canada

Estate Administration

Being named an executor is an important responsibility, often taken on at a difficult time. We help executors understand what is required of them and guide them through each step of administering the estate.

• Explaining the executor's duties and the steps involved
• Applying for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (probate) in Ontario, where required
• Identifying and gathering estate assets and addressing debts
• Communicating with beneficiaries and keeping proper records
• Distributing the estate in accordance with the will or applicable law
