What happens if you die without a will in Ontario? For many families in Durham Region—including Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Pickering, and Clarington—this situation creates delays, legal costs, and uncertainty. When there is no valid will, Ontario law—not your personal wishes—determines who inherits your estate.
If you die without a will, your estate is administered and distributed according to Ontario’s intestacy laws - not your wishes.
