Getting a Will is Easy & Affordable

You begin by telling us whether you want us to prepare documents for just you or you and your partner. Then you will pay using our secure payment processor. Then you will see a form with a few simple questions. You answer and submit the form and relax. We then prepare and deliver your documents via email within 2 business days along with easy to follow instructions about how to sign them. You can request paper copies via regular mail for a small extra fee to cover the postage.

A Will only comes into force when you die. Another important estate document is an Enduring Power of Attorney. This can be used by a trusted family member or friend to make decisions about your personal care and property should you become mentally incapacitated. It can save your estate thousands in legal fees and is highly recommended.

Another important document is a Health Care Directive or Living Will which you use to appoint a trusted friend or family member to make critical health care decisions for you if you are incapacitated.

To properly protect yourself, your family, and your estate, everyone needs all 3 of these vital documents and so our service includes all three. 

A legal will is a document that describes what you want to happen to your property after you die. It also lets you appoint a trusted person to be responsible to see that your final wishes are carried out properly. 

To be valid a legal will needs to be properly signed and witnessed. Any improperly drafted provisions or gifts to ineligible persons are void but don't invalidate the entire document.

A will has no legal power until you die. That is why everyone needs a Power of Attorney and a Living Will in addition to their legal will in order to safeguard themselves and their property.

A power of attorney is a legal document which you sign that gives legal authority over your property to someone you name in the document. The idea is to name someone you trust to make decisions for you if you suffer some accident or illness that leaves you without the mental capacity to make decisions yourself.

A properly prepared power of attorney is recognized by banks, creditors, and governments. Without one, someone would need to go through all the time and expense of asking the court to appoint a guardian for you. 

The best way to use your power of attorney, once you have it, is to save it somewhere safe and let the person you named in it know where they can find it if it becomes necessary to use. It will not interfere with your ability to make your own decisions in any way so long as your mental capacity remains in tact. But if you lose that capacity, your power of attorney will save a lot of money and headaches for those who will need to see to your needs.

A legal will only takes effect when you die. A power of attorney is only in effect while you are alive and it stops working when you die. That is why both documents are needed. 

A living will is a legal document where you appoint a trusted friend or family member to make decisions about your health and personal care in the event you lose your ability to make or communicate those decisions for yourself. It is similar to the power of attorney mentioned in the last question except the power of attorney deals with your property and the living will deals with your person.

The term "living will" is a popular term but it has several different official names across Canada including "health care directive", or "personal directive". The documents we prepare reflect the differences among the provinces.

Typically you would keep your living will in a safe place with your other estate documents and make sure your trusted loved ones knew where to retrieve it should the need arise.
