We customize Ontario wills to incorporate fundamental Islamic principles. Our service ensures that your estate is distributed in accordance with Sharia law, while also complying with Ontario’s legal framework.

How is an Islamic will different?

​

• Mandatory Heir Distribution – Islamic inheritance follows fixed shares, ensuring heirs receive their designated portions, unlike discretionary distribution in Ontario wills.

• Limited Bequests – You may allocate up to one-third of your estate to non-heirs or charitable causes; the rest must follow Islamic guidelines.

• Religious Obligations – Ensures outstanding Zakat or debts are settled before asset distribution.

• Executor Selection – Appoints a trusted individual familiar with Islamic and legal requirements.

• Funeral Arrangements – Specifies Islamic burial rites, including no cremation and preference for a swift burial

We help you create trusts that protect your loved ones, preserve your legacy, and achieve your financial and personal goals.

Testamentary Trusts are created in your will and only come into effect after your death. They allow you to control how and when your beneficiaries receive their inheritance, protect minor children and vulnerable dependents, reduce risks of mismanagement, and provide tax planning opportunities for your estate and heirs.

​

Inter Vivos (Living) Trusts are created during your lifetime. They allow you to transfer assets out of your name while retaining control as Trustee, avoid probate fees on assets held in trust, plan for incapacity, and create charitable or family trusts to achieve tax planning or philanthropic goals.
