Are will kits any good?

Power of attorney documents - In addition to your will, we can also help you create your power of attorney documents to cover you in the event you become incapacitated Without a will, the court will decide which is pricey and they may ignore an important relationship in your life You can plan out your will, including your executors and beneficiaries, with our wills planner tool.

Please note that Willful is not a law firm and cannot provide legal advice. Why Is It Important To Have A Will? Yes - will kits are legal in Canada! However, it’s not the kit itself or how the will was made that makes it legal, but the signing and witnessing requirements. Once you’ve filled in the blanks with your information, you will need to sign and witness the will for it to be considered legally-binding. A complex will is generally for very large and/or complicated estate or for those with foreign assets. This type of will often includes setting up trusts which take steps to reduce inheritance tax and covers multiple generations. If you think you need a complex will, you can call our wills team on 0800 773 4014 for guidance. Cons - Will cost a little bit more than the options above - but you will at least obtain peace of mind. Wills storage companies look after documents in a similar manner to solicitors. Most charge on a subscription basis, and levy additional fees if your will needs to be changed.A - We recommend you keep it somewhere safe, dry and easily accessible for your executor. Storing it elsewhere such as a safety deposit box can cause problems as your executor would have to go through a lengthy legal process to obtain it as they are not you. Cons - usually no face to face consultation, just a highly impersonal form to fill in and return. They will often appoint themselves as your executors which will cost your estate 4%+ when you die. (Far more expensive than solicitors.) Fun fact: You do NOT need to visit a lawyer or notary to make a legal will in Canada. As long as you meet the requirements, you have a legal will!
