A marriage in Ontario will invalidate an existing will to the extent that the new spouse must be adequately taken care of. Ifa spouse dies without a Will, the surviving spouse will receive a spousal preferential share of the deceased's estate ($200,000.00 at this time) plus a large portion of the balance of the estate. Under the provisions of the Family Law Act (FLA) and/or the Succession Law Reform Act (SLRA). Under the FLA, a surviving spouse can elect for a property equalization if the Will does not provide a satisfactory legacy. The SLRA provides for dependent's relief if the surviving spouse's support needs are not adequately covered by the estate.
