Introduction to Will Presented By Dr. Kazi Nazrul Islam Joint Secretary 36
Will according to Quran "It is prescribed that when death approaches any of you and he is leaving behind wealth, he shall make a will in favour of his parents and relatives equitably. This is a duty for all who fear Allah." Surah Al-Baqarah (2:180) OBMFO Confidential 37
Will according to Hadith “It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his last will and testament written and kept ready with him.” [Narrated by al-Bukhari, al-Wasaayaa 2533]. OBMFO Confidential 38
Will according to Canadian Law Your will or testament guarantees that your property and assets will be regulated according to your desires. Without a Will, there is no mechanism in place to make a bequest. No matter the value of your assets, you have the right to decide who will manage your estate after your death, and how your assets will be distributed. Without a Last Will and Testament (“Will”), these very important decisions will be made by the government. In Ontario, the Estates Administration Act regulates the manner in which people will be selected in order to manage the assets of your estate. Part II of the Succession Law Reform Act (SLRA) sets out who is entitled to share in those assets, and in what proportion. The results that arise under these statutes may not be a desirable outcome for your family’s particular needs and likely not the results you intend. OBMFO Confidential 39
