1. Check if your partner has a will
Question & Answer
We’re married. What happens to my partner’s property if they die?To find a will, you can check:
- your partner's personal paperwork
- your partner's safety deposit box at a bank or similar business

In Ontario, people sometimes leave their will with the local Court Registrar for safekeeping. You can find the contact information for Ontario courthouses.
