Powers of Attorney
There are two types of power of attorney. These are as follows:
- Power of Attorney for personal care
- Power of attorney for
Being in the industry for more than 20 years, we’ve seen many clients struggling to understand the difference between these two. This often leaves them unsure about when each type comes into effect and what powers it grants.
People come rushing to our office to create a ‘power of attorney’ when a major crisis has already hit them. This complicates the process. That’s why we urge everyone to be prepared beforehand.
We understand that giving someone legal authority over your financial or health matters is scary, but that’s exactly why we are here. Our wills and estate attorneys will help you choose a trusted and reliable ‘power of attorney.’ With us, your POA document will reflect your wishes accurately, never vague or overly broad.
Estate and Trust Litigation
Legal disputes may arise over the administration, interpretation, or distribution of a deceased person’s estate or trust. It could occur between siblings, stepfamily, or other loved ones.
Another common issue is contesting a will on grounds of coercion, manipulation, or undue influence. For example, this may happen if someone doesn’t have the mental capacity to make informed decisions or when one heir has disproportionate control.
We serve both sides, be it proving your claim or challenging another’s claim in court. Our estate litigation lawyers are experts in both. At Nanda C Associate Lawyers, we are trained to de-escalate emotionally charged situations and resolve matters based on facts, rights, obligations, and legal remedies.
Probate and Estate Administration
Probate is the legal process that helps to validate a deceased person’s will. The process involves confirming the authenticity of the will before it gets officially administered. By authenticity it means to assess if the will was made under full consciousness. If it gets validated, then the assigned executor can legally administer the orders stated in the will.
Losing a loved one is never easy, and managing their estate can add more stress. At Nanda C Associate Lawyers, we guide you through every step of the probate and estate administration process. Whether you’re an executor named in a will or a family member handling an estate without one. We assist you in obtaining probate, resolving debts and taxes, allocating assets, and guaranteeing the estate’s administration in compliance with Ontario law.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best person to draw up a will?
A will and estate lawyer or a notary public are the best professionals to draw up a safe and sound will. With them, the risk of formal errors reduces immensely. This method also accelerates the probate process in court.
A wills and estate lawyer is especially valuable when your estate involves complex assets, blended families, or potential conflicts. They can draft your will and represent you or your estate in case a dispute arises. Their legal guidance offers peace of mind and lasting protection for your loved ones.
Do all wills have to go through probate in Ontario?
No, probate is not required for all wills. The requirement of probate depends on many factors. The size of the estate, if the deceased has a surviving spouse (who was also a joint tenant), and many more. An experienced wills and estates lawyer will help determine that for you.
What are the three main issues to consider in estate planning?
When planning your estate, you should focus on three key components: powers of attorney, representation (health) agreements, and wills.
A power of attorney ensures someone can manage your financial or legal affairs if you become incapacitated.
A representation (health) agreement appoints a trusted individual to make medical and personal care decisions on your behalf.
Finally, a will directs how your assets should be distributed after your death—and who will carry out those wishes.
Can I write my own will in Ontario?
Yes, you can make your own will in Ontario if you are at least 18 years old and are mentally capable. This means that you understand your financial position and how making a ‘will’ will affect that.
However, if you are below 18, you can still make a will if you are married or were married to someone. This also applies if you are a member of the Canadian Forces or you are sailing at sea or on a bon voyage.
How long does probate take in Toronto?
In Toronto, the probate process can range from a few weeks to over a year, depending on how complex the estate is. Some Ontario courts, like those in Ottawa or Mississauga, can finish probate applications in less than 8 weeks. Toronto courts often face longer wait times, with some cases taking more than 8 months. Overall, the entire process of probating and administering an estate can stretch beyond a year, particularly when complications or delays arise.
