Will Preparation Under Saskatchewan Law

In Saskatchewan, wills are governed by the Wills Act, 1996 (S.S. 1996, c. W-14.1). Every document prepared through Wills Made Easy is drafted in full compliance with Saskatchewan law by a licensed legal professional.

Saskatchewan uses the term Health Care Directive — similar to Manitoba — governed by the Health Care Directives and Substitute Health Care Decision Makers Act. This document appoints a proxy decision-maker for your medical and personal care if you become incapacitated. Saskatchewan's legislation explicitly allows you to document specific treatment wishes within the directive itself, giving you more granular control over your healthcare preferences than many other provinces permit.

Your Enduring Power of Attorney in Saskatchewan is governed by the Powers of Attorney Act, 2002. Saskatchewan is one of the few provinces where the legislation explicitly recognizes multiple attorneys acting jointly or independently — a useful option for families where more than one person may need authority to act. All execution requirements must be met at your appointment, including witnessing by a person who is not your attorney or a beneficiary.

Saskatchewan has strong protections for farmland and agricultural assets under the Farm Security Act and related legislation. If your estate includes farmland or a farming operation, it is especially important that your will is professionally drafted to account for these protections and any applicable transfer restrictions.

Under Saskatchewan's intestacy rules, a common-law spouse who has cohabited for at least two years does have inheritance rights — but only in the absence of a surviving married spouse. The distribution formula under intestacy may still not reflect your wishes, particularly in blended families. A professionally drafted will is the only reliable solution.
