Estate planning for Ottawa's Muslim community

Ottawa's Muslim community includes many families connected to the federal public service, academia, and tech — professions where thorough documentation is second nature, but estate planning is often the one thing left undone. WillVera's Islamic will is built for Ontario residents — your document is prepared to meet the formal signing and witnessing requirements of the Succession Law Reform Act, while your Mawarith shares are calculated according to Islamic principles.

Your Wasiyyah can direct a bequest — up to one-third of your net estate — to a local mosque, Islamic school, or charity serving the Ottawa community.

The problem

Without a will, Ontario law decides — not Islamic law

When a Muslim dies intestate in Ontario, the Succession Law Reform Act distributes the estate — not Mawarith. Read the full breakdown: what happens if a Muslim dies without a will in Canada.

⚠️
Spouse gets a fixed share firstOntario gives a surviving spouse a fixed "preferential share" before the remainder is split with children — not according to Mawarith.
⚠️
Sons and daughters inherit equallyOntario intestacy law splits a child's share equally — not the 2:1 Mawarith ratio.
⚠️
Parents may receive nothingUnder Ontario law, parents only inherit if there's no surviving spouse or children — even though Islamic law gives parents a fixed 1/6 share regardless.
⚠️
No wasiyyah mechanismThere's no way to direct a bequest to your mosque or an Islamic charity without a written will.
📜

A Wasiyyah is a religious obligation

The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his last will written and kept ready with him." (Bukhari & Muslim)

WillVera makes it easy to fulfil this obligation — in under 15 minutes, for $49.

FAQ

Islamic wills in Ottawa — common questions

Yes. As part of Ontario, an Islamic will is fully valid in Ottawa as long as it meets the formal requirements of Ontario's Succession Law Reform Act — signed by you in the presence of two adult witnesses who are not beneficiaries.
Ontario's intestacy rules apply instead of Mawarith — a surviving spouse receives a fixed preferential share, then children inherit equal shares regardless of gender, and parents or siblings often inherit nothing if a spouse or children survive.
No. Federal employment does not change which succession law applies — your will is still governed by the province where you live, which for most Ottawa residents is Ontario. Federal pension and benefit beneficiary designations are separate from your will and should be reviewed alongside it.
A WillVera Islamic will starts at $49 CAD as a one-time payment, including Mawarith Schedule A, wasiyyah bequests, Islamic burial instructions, and PDF and Word download.
