Who this is for

The decisions Ontario owners bring to DRG Law for wills, estates and succession

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

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. The 2026 launch will carry the full service. Until then, Damaris reviews and routes the file.

02

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 will run those connections starting in 2026.

03

Wills and power-of-attorney documents

Wills, power-of-attorney documents (the papers that name who decides for you if you cannot), and the core estate papers are part of the 2026 launch. Until then, the file comes to Damaris for review.

How DRG Law writes it

How DRG Law writes a succession plan

The 2026 launch will carry the full succession practice. Until then, DRG Law writes the structural decision and routes the file where a specialist signature is needed.

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.

Send your matter

Send the question even before the 2026 launch.

DRG Law is preparing the full wills and estates practice for 2026. Until then, send the question so Damaris can confirm whether DRG Law can take it on now, hold it for the launch, or point you to a more direct path.
