1-Min Law Tips Canada | Damaged Original Will?

In Ontario, a damaged original will is not automatically invalid, but it can increase probate delay and legal costs. We look at whether the will is clearly readable, free of ambiguity, and whether authenticity can be proven. Damage near key clauses—beneficiary names, dollar amounts, or asset descriptions—creates higher risk. If handwriting is blurred or numbers can be confused (like 1 vs 7), disputes are more likely. For risk control, consider preparing a clean, compliant new will and safeguarding the original.
