MyKeyholders — name up to 20 people who can locate your will
Yes — a will made with a reputable online service is legally valid in every province as long as you sign and witness it correctly: print it, and sign in the physical presence of two adult witnesses who aren’t beneficiaries (BC allows electronic signing). The online part is just the drafting; the signing makes it legal. Quebec is the exception — its rules differ, so coverage there is limited.
How much does an online will cost vs a lawyer?
Online will kits run from about $49.95 to a few hundred dollars for a couple with full incapacity documents. A lawyer-drafted will typically costs several hundred to over a thousand dollars. For a straightforward estate the online route saves a lot; for a complex one, the lawyer’s advice is the point — see online will vs lawyer.
Can I do a will and power of attorney together online?
Yes. Most platforms bundle the will, a power of attorney for property/finances, and a health-care directive (POA for personal care) in their mid or premium tier — Epilogue and Willful both do, and LegalWills.ca adds them on higher tiers. These incapacity documents matter as much as the will, so the bundle is usually worth it.
What happens if I move or my life changes?
Your will should be updated after major life events — marriage, divorce, a new child, a big asset change, or a move to another province. Platforms that include free updates for life (like Willful) make this painless; others charge or include updates for a set period. Always re-sign and re-witness an updated will for it to take effect.
Is an online will right for you?
It’s perfect for a simple estate — but some situations really do need a lawyer.
