Trust & Will Interpretation in Southern Ontario
There are times when the
provisions of a will and the exact intentions of a testator are unclear. This
may be due to the poor drafting of a will or possibly a change in circumstances
following the will’s creation. At Donnell Law Group, we are capable of providing
legal advice to estate trustees or interested beneficiaries regarding the
provisions of a will or trust.
An estate trustee should not try to
interpret the wishes of the testator by administering a will that is unclear.
The interpretation of an unclear will is best left to the court, whose task is
to determine the exact intention of the testator. The language of the will and
circumstances of a testator’s life will be considered.
If you are seeking a legal opinion or need guidance on applying for an interpretation, consult with the lawyers at Donnell Law Group.
