Ontario probate math

The 1.5% Estate Administration Tax can be the biggest avoidable bill.

Ontario charges Estate Administration Tax on the gross value of property administered through probate. The first $50,000 is free; everything above is at 1.5%. There's no cap.

If a properly-drafted secondary will keeps the private-co shares out of probate

The Estate Plan™ engine flags secondary-will opportunities automatically for Ontario residents with incorporated businesses. The fix is a 1-page additional document drafted alongside the primary will — usually $300–$700 in lawyer time.
