Question 1

What is Wills Made Easy?

Accepted Answer

Wills Made Easy connects Canadians with licensed local lawyers to prepare a complete will package in a single one-hour appointment. You book online, complete a short intake questionnaire, and a local lawyer meets with you to review, finalize, and sign everything. You leave with a completed will, enduring power of attorney, and personal healthcare directive — all properly witnessed and executed. No hourly billing, no hidden fees, and no need to visit a law firm.

Question 2

What happens after I book?

Accepted Answer

After booking you'll receive a confirmation email with your appointment details and a short intake questionnaire. It takes about 10–15 minutes to complete and covers your family, assets, beneficiaries, and wishes. Your lawyer uses your answers to prepare all documents in advance — so when you arrive, you're reviewing and signing, not starting from scratch. This is what allows the entire appointment to be completed in about one hour.

Question 3

What documents do I receive?

Accepted Answer

Every appointment includes four key legal documents: a Last Will and Testament, an Enduring Power of Attorney, a Personal Healthcare Directive (the name varies by province — in Ontario it's called a Power of Attorney for Personal Care), and a Guardian Appointment if you have minor children. All four documents are signed, witnessed, and notarized at your appointment by a licensed legal professional. You leave with originals in hand.

Question 4

How long does the appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Most appointments are completed in 45–60 minutes. Because your lawyer prepares all documents in advance using your intake questionnaire, the appointment itself is focused on reviewing, answering questions, and signing — not drafting from scratch. If you have a more complex situation — multiple properties, a trust, or special instructions — it may run a little longer. Your lawyer will let you know in advance if that applies.

Question 5

Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?

Accepted Answer

Bring one piece of valid government-issued photo ID. Beyond that, the intake questionnaire you complete after booking covers everything your lawyer needs — your family situation, assets, beneficiaries, and any specific wishes. Your lawyer prepares all documents before you arrive, so the appointment stays focused and efficient. No additional preparation is required.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Wills Made Easy uses flat-rate pricing with no hourly billing and no hidden fees. The Individual Package is $395 per person. The Couple's Package is $495 for two people prepared at one shared appointment — effectively $247.50 per person. By comparison, a traditional law firm typically charges $1,000–$2,500+ for the same documents. You know the exact cost before you book, and payment is collected after your documents are complete.

Question 7

When do I pay?

Accepted Answer

Payment is collected at the end of your appointment, after your documents are signed and complete — nothing is charged upfront. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Debit. The Individual Package is $395 and the Couple's Package is $495. There are no deposits, cancellation fees, or surprise charges.

Question 8

Is my will legally valid across Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All documents are prepared by a licensed lawyer in your province and meet the legal requirements of your jurisdiction. Wills in Canada are governed by provincial legislation — for example, Alberta's Wills and Succession Act or Ontario's Succession Law Reform Act — and every document prepared through Wills Made Easy complies with the applicable provincial laws. Your will is valid and enforceable anywhere in Canada.

Question 9

Can I update my will later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Wills Made Easy package includes free annual updates. Life changes — a new child, a divorce, a move to a different province, or simply a change of mind about your beneficiaries or executor. Contact us and we'll arrange an updated appointment. It's important to keep your will current, especially after major life events such as marriage, the birth of a child, or the death of a named beneficiary.

Question 10

What should I do with my documents after the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Store your original documents somewhere safe — a fireproof box, a home safe, or with a trusted family member. Do not store them in a safety deposit box that only you can access, as this can create problems for your executor after your passing. Let your executor and your power of attorney know where to find your documents. Your lawyer can advise on the best storage approach at your appointment.

Question 11

Which provinces do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Wills Made Easy operates across Canada and is expanding city by city. Coverage varies by location — visit the Locations page to see which cities currently have available appointments. New lawyers are added to new cities on an ongoing basis. If your city isn't yet active, you can join the waitlist and you'll be notified as soon as a licensed professional becomes available in your area.

Question 12

How quickly can I get an appointment?

Accepted Answer

In most areas, appointments are available within a few days. Some locations may have longer lead times depending on local lawyer availability and demand. You'll see real-time availability when you book online. If your city isn't yet active, you can join the waitlist and you'll be contacted as soon as appointments open near you.

Question 13

Can I meet with a lawyer virtually?

Accepted Answer

Appointments are currently in-person. This is because your documents must be physically signed, witnessed, and notarized at the appointment — these are legal requirements under Canadian provincial legislation that cannot be completed remotely. If virtual options become available in your area, they will be noted at the time of booking.

Question 14

What's the difference between Wills Made Easy and a law firm?

Accepted Answer

A traditional law firm charges $1,000–$2,500+ for the same documents, bills by the hour, and typically requires multiple appointments over several weeks. Wills Made Easy is designed for people who know what they want and need a qualified professional to prepare and complete their documents properly — in one hour, at a flat rate. If you need legal advice on a complicated estate, tax planning, or a contested family situation, you should retain a practicing lawyer. For straightforward estate planning, Wills Made Easy is faster, simpler, and significantly more affordable.

Question 15

Do I need a will if I'm young or don't own property?

Accepted Answer

A will is relevant at any age or asset level. Without a valid will, provincial intestacy laws determine how your estate is distributed — which may not reflect your wishes. A will also lets you name an executor, designate a guardian for minor children, and specify wishes that courts would otherwise decide without your input. The Enduring Power of Attorney and Personal Healthcare Directive included in every WME package are equally important — they govern decisions made on your behalf if you become incapacitated, not just after death.

Question 16

What is a power of attorney?

Accepted Answer

An Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) is a legal document that authorizes a trusted person to manage your financial and legal affairs if you become unable to do so yourself. 'Enduring' means the authority continues even if you lose mental capacity — which is when it matters most. It does not grant authority after death; your will governs that. Every WME appointment includes an Enduring Power of Attorney as part of the standard package.
