A persons last will and testament dictates how property is divided. When a person dies without a will, inheritance in Canada can become very complex. A person who has died without a will has then died intestate. Succession and Family Laws are then then followed. These laws are governed provincially and vary considerably from province to province. It is important to note that a will is null and void upon a marriage unless the will was made specifically made in contemplation of marriage. However, in the province of Quebec a will still stands regardless if a marriage occurs.
