Dual Wills may be appealing to you if you have a business interest, such as shares in a small corporation, that you would like to pass down to future generations through your Last Will. Typically, dual wills are utilized to separate those assets that do not necessarily require probate, such as shares, from those that do. In Ontario, estate administration tax is payable in connection with an application for probate, so the use of dual wills may reduce this tax.
