Who this is for

The decisions Ontario owners bring to DRG Law for wills & estates

Each entry below names a decision and the legal structure DRG Law writes around it. If the matter on your desk fits one of these, send it to Damaris.

01

Will with powers of attorney

A will names who inherits and who administers the estate. Two powers of attorney name who decides for you on property and on personal care if you cannot. DRG Law drafts all three as a coordinated set, at a fixed fee confirmed in writing before the work starts.

02

Planning who takes over the business

An owner planning what happens to the business next needs the company shares, the will, and the family arrangements lined up as one plan, not separate files. DRG Law works with the owner and the accountant to write the structure before the estate documents move.

03

Connecting family and business wealth

Wills and estate plans touch the company shares, the property the family owns, and the agreements already in place. DRG Law writes the connections so the documents do not contradict each other.

How DRG Law writes it

How DRG Law writes a succession plan

DRG Law writes the structural decision first: control, shares, and family arrangements. The estate documents record what that structure decided.

The control map

A one-page map of who owns what, who controls what, and what the family arrangements say. Becomes the starting point for every succession conversation.

The corporate side first

Share class changes, holding-company restructures, and trust arrangements are written before the estate documents move.

The will and POAs last

The will and power-of-attorney documents record what the structural work decided. Damaris drafts them or routes to a specialist depending on what the file requires.
