You don’t need a lawyer to draft your will. In Canada, as long as the will is in writing, signed by you and two adult witnesses who are present at the same time, it’s legally valid. The signed original should be stored safely where your executor or family can access it. However, if your estate is complex, consulting a lawyer may be a good idea.

Yes! As long as you meet the requirements for a legal will in Canada. Willful provides you with all the instructions on how to make your will legally binding. (Hint: No lawyer or notary required!)

Creating a legal will involves abiding with provincial and territorial laws. We are working with our team of estate lawyers to expand across Canada.
Right now our wills are  available to residents of Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI, and B.C.

We are also available to residents of Quebec.

Power of attorney documents govern your personal, medical, legal, and financial life *before* you pass away. In contrast, your last will and testament only takes effect *after* you die. Willful power of attorney documents are intended to be used in a personal accident or medical emergency on your behalf. In a legal sense, their powers 'endure' beyond your mental incapacity.

Willful is designed for all Canadian adults, whether they have assets or not. While Willful is a great fit for most Canadians, some estates may be too complex for our platform.
