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.
