Mirror Wills for Couples (Ontario)

How it works

What you will fill in

• Does any of these apply to you?
• First spouse's full legal name
• Second spouse's full legal name
• Your city or town, in Ontario
• You are
• Your children (names, one per line)
• Backup executor if both of you have died
• Age when children receive their share
• If no spouse or children survive, who gets everything?
• Date you will both sign

Good to know

• Mirror wills are two separate wills. Either of you can change your own will later, even after the other dies.
• The same two witnesses can witness both wills, but neither spouse can witness the other's will.
• Registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA) and life insurance go by their beneficiary forms. Check those match these wills.

Help in your language

Every question comes with help like this. For example, “Does any of these apply to you?”:

English: If one does, a lawyer should check it before you sign. You can still make the full document here.

اردو: اگر ان میں سے کوئی بات ہو تو دستخط سے پہلے وکیل سے چیک کروائیں۔

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ: ਜੇ ਇਹਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਕੋਈ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਦਸਤਖ਼ਤ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਵਕੀਲ ਤੋਂ ਚੈੱਕ ਕਰਵਾਓ।

हिन्दी: अगर इनमें से कोई बात है तो दस्तख़त से पहले वकील से जाँच करवाएँ।

Français: Si l'une s'applique, faites vérifier le document par un avocat avant de signer. Vous pouvez quand même faire le document complet ici.
