What we draft

The three core estate documents work together — your Will directs what happens after death, while your Personal Directive and Enduring Power of Attorney protect you while you're alive. We draft all three at flat rates, individually or as a package.

Wills

Clear, legally valid Wills that direct your estate the way you intend.

  • Naming executors and alternate executors
  • Specific gifts, residue, and beneficiary planning
  • Guardianship designations for minor children

Enduring Powers of Attorney

Authorize someone you trust to manage your finances if you can't.

  • Springing or immediate effective dates
  • Scope of financial decision-making powers
  • Safeguards and reporting requirements

Personal Directives

Name an agent to make personal and healthcare decisions on your behalf.

  • Healthcare and treatment preferences
  • Where you live and who cares for you
  • Activation on loss of capacity

Wills & Estates FAQ

Wills & estate planning questions we hear most often

What's the difference between a Will, a Personal Directive, and an Enduring Power of Attorney?+

A Will sets out who receives your estate and who administers it after death. A Personal Directive names someone to make personal and healthcare decisions if you lose capacity while alive. An Enduring Power of Attorney appoints someone to manage your finances and property if you become incapacitated. Together, these three documents cover what happens both before and after death.

What happens if I die without a Will in Alberta?+

If you die without a Will (intestate) in Alberta, the Wills and Succession Act decides who inherits and in what shares — and your spouse, common-law partner, or children may not receive what you would have intended. A Personal Representative also has to be appointed by the court, which adds delay and cost.

How long does it take to get my Wills package prepared?+

Most individual and spousal packages are drafted, reviewed, and signed within 2–3 weeks of your first meeting. We collect your instructions, prepare drafts for your review, then meet with you to sign and witness the documents properly so they're legally valid.

Can my spouse and I use the same Will?+

Spouses typically sign separate but mirrored Wills — meaning each spouse has their own Will containing identical terms (each leaves everything to the other, with the same alternate beneficiaries). Our spousal flat-rate pricing is built around mirrored documents. If you and your spouse want substantially different terms, we can still help — pricing is quoted separately.

When should I update my Will or Personal Directive?+

Review your estate documents after any major life change — marriage, separation or divorce, a new child or grandchild, the death of a named executor or beneficiary, buying or selling significant assets, or moving provinces. As a general rule, revisit every 3–5 years even if nothing has changed.
