Shuter Law Islamic Will

Islamic Estate Planning in Ontario

Shuter Law runs a dedicated Islamic wills practice from offices in North York (Toronto) and Ajax (Durham Region), drafting wills that implement faraid within Ontario law - and, unusually, publishing sophisticated guidance on the hard cases: providing for stepchildren through the one-third wasiyya (since they take no fixed share), insurance-funded buyouts that keep business succession inside the fixed-share system, and defensive drafting against the Family Law Act elections and dependant's-relief claims that can override religious distribution in court. An optional Shariah compliance statement can be embedded in the will, with ad hoc imam consultation available. A free 15-minute consultation starts the process; pricing is not published.

Shuter Law maintains a dedicated Islamic wills practice, giving Ontario Muslims a law-office route to a Sharia-aligned will instead of a self-serve template - and its published thinking on hard cases is the differentiator: wasiyya-based provision for stepchildren, insurance-funded buyouts for business succession, and defensive drafting against the Family Law Act elections and dependant's-relief claims that can override faraid in court. That litigation-aware drafting is what DIY platforms cannot provide. Like other firm-based options it publishes no pricing and discloses no Sharia advisory board - the optional Shariah compliance statement and imam consultation are ad hoc per engagement - so arrange your own scholarly sign-off on the final distribution. Best for GTA and Durham-region Muslims with blended families, business succession, or waqf ambitions.
