Islamic Wills in Hamilton, Ontario
Hamilton's Islamic Will service — prepared online, signed from your home
From the Mountain to the lower city, Stoney Creek to Ancaster, Hamilton's Muslim families want the same thing: a Will that honours Islamic inheritance and stands up under Ontario law. islamicwillnow.com lets you prepare yours online, in plain language, in a single evening.
Then Tier 2 completes it by secure video. Two professional witnesses join you online — one a Law Society of Ontario licensee, as Ontario law requires — and your Affidavit of Execution (Form 74D) is commissioned during the same call. Your Will is signed, witnessed and probate-ready without leaving Hamilton.
Fits around shift work
Healthcare, education and manufacturing schedules are unpredictable. Book an online signing at a time that suits you and sign from home.
Two witnesses provided
No asking friends from the masjid or relatives who inherit. Ontario voids gifts to witnesses, so Tier 2 provides independent professionals.
Your whole package, one call
Sign your Will and Ontario Powers of Attorney together, with Form 74D commissioned remotely for probate.
Estate planning for Hamilton Muslim families
Hamilton households often combine a family home, workplace pensions through Hamilton Health Sciences, McMaster University, Mohawk College or local industry, and RRSPs or TFSAs with named beneficiaries. Without a Will, Ontario's intestacy rules decide who inherits — and those rules do not follow Faraid.
Your Will includes a Faraid-based Schedule “A” for the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki or Hanbali school. Mahr, debts and funeral costs are paid first, then any Wasiyyah of up to one-third, then the Quranic shares. You can appoint a guardian for minor children, set the age they receive their inheritance, and add Islamic medical directives to your Power of Attorney for Personal Care.
Couples on Hamilton Mountain, in Westdale, Dundas or Binbrook can prepare mirror Wills in one order and sign them together on the same video appointment.

Hamilton Islamic Will questions
- Can I complete my Islamic Will without leaving Hamilton?
- Yes. You build your Will online, then sign it during a Tier 2 video appointment. One of your witnesses is a Law Society of Ontario licensee, which is what Ontario's Succession Law Reform Act (s. 4(3)) requires for video witnessing.
- Who are the witnesses on the video call?
- Two professional witnesses who are not beneficiaries under your Will. One is a Law Society of Ontario licensee. They confirm your identity, watch you sign and then sign your Will themselves.
- How is Form 74D handled when I sign online?
- Form 74D, the Affidavit of Execution, is pre-filled for you and commissioned by video at the end of the appointment, so your executor has it ready when applying for probate.
- Does my spouse's Family Law Act right affect an Islamic Will?
- A surviving married spouse in Ontario can elect to equalize net family property instead of taking under the Will. Your Will includes a coordination clause, and Tier 3 adds a review with an Ontario lawyer if you want advice on this.
- I live in Burlington or Grimsby. Can I use the Hamilton service?
- Yes. Online Tier 2 signing is available anywhere in Ontario, including Burlington, Grimsby, St. Catharines and Brantford.
“It is not right for a Muslim who has something to bequeath to spend two nights without having his will written down.”
