Please Review the Following Carefully

  1. Please review your intake form carefully before submitting it to ensure that all information is complete and accurate. After the form has been submitted, a fee of $150 will apply each time you request changes to your Will. To avoid multiple fees, please include all requested changes in a single revision request.
  2. This online Will service does not include a meeting or consultation with a lawyer. Should you wish to speak with a lawyer before completing your Will, please contact our office to schedule a consultation. One of our estate-planning lawyers will discuss your circumstances with you and guide you through the options that may be appropriate for your estate-planning needs.
  3. Should you wish to obtain legal advice regarding the Simple Will and Powers of Attorney prepared through this online service, you may schedule a consultation with one of our lawyers to review the documents, for an additional fee. During the consultation, the lawyer can explain their legal effect, discuss any potential implications or consequences, and answer questions about how the documents may affect you, your estate, your beneficiaries, and the individuals appointed under your Powers of Attorney.
  4. Signing appointments are run by our estate team, not our lawyers, so legal advice isn’t available at the signing itself. If you have questions about your documents, book a consultation with one of our estate lawyers and we’ll walk you through them.

Our Online Simple Will Package: What is Included

1. The Last Will and Testament

Revocation and declaration. The Will opens by cancelling every earlier Will or codicil you have made, so there is no question about which document governs. Only the current one has legal effect.

Your executor and estate trustee. You name the person responsible for administering your estate — collecting your assets, paying your debts and taxes, and distributing what remains to your beneficiaries. You may also name an alternate in case your first choice dies before you, or is unable or unwilling to act when the time comes. You may appoint more than one person and specify whether they must act together or can act independently. The Will also relieves your executor from having to post a bond, which saves your estate the cost and administrative delay.

Transfer of your property to the estate. A vesting clause transfers everything you own — real estate, bank accounts, investments, personal belongings, and any property you hold a general power of appointment over — into your executor’s hands, to be dealt with according to the terms that follow.

Payment of debts, funeral costs and taxes. Your executor is directed to pay your final debts, funeral and testamentary expenses, income taxes, and any estate, capital, succession or inheritance taxes.

Who receives your estate. The residue — what is left after debts, expenses and taxes — goes to the beneficiary you name, provided that person survives you by thirty days. A final gift-over clause catches any portion of the estate that would otherwise be left undisposed of and directs it to the surviving issue of your named beneficiaries.

Protection for young or incapable beneficiaries. If someone becomes entitled to a share of your estate while under eighteen, or while mentally incapable of managing property, that share may be held in trust rather than handed over.

Your executor’s powers. A significant part of the Will sets out what your executor is authorized to do, so they can act without returning to court for approval. This includes:

  • Selling estate assets, or choosing to hold and postpone the sale where that serves the estate better
  • Investing estate funds without being confined to the narrower investment rules that otherwise apply to trustees
  • Retaining professional investment counsel and delegating investment decisions to them
  • Hiring agents and professional advisors, and paying them from the estate
  • Exercising shareholder and corporate rights over any business interests you hold
  • Selling, mortgaging, leasing, repairing and managing real estate, and renewing or renegotiating existing mortgages
  • Borrowing on behalf of the estate and giving security, including to pay taxes, debts or legacies
  • Making loans or providing guarantees to your beneficiaries
  • Buying or leasing a home or other property for a beneficiary’s use
  • Continuing to carry liabilities you had guaranteed, so the person you guaranteed is not suddenly called upon
  • Distributing assets in kind rather than converting everything to cash, and setting valuations for that purpose
  • Making all elections and designations available under the Income Tax Act, which is where much of the tax planning in an estate happens
  • Managing your digital assets — devices, online accounts, email, social media, domain names and stored data
  • Settling, deferring, enforcing or compromising debts owed to or by you
  • Purchasing errors and omissions insurance to protect against honest mistakes in administering the estate

Administrative provisions. These handle the practical questions that come up in almost every estate: how family relationships are defined, including adopted children and children treated as your own; what happens if a beneficiary cannot be found within two years; how and when your executor may take compensation; and confirmation that your executor need not apply for probate if the estate can be administered without it.

Guardianship of minor children. If you and your spouse both die while your children are under eighteen, the Will appoints the guardian who may have custody and care of them.

Affidavit of execution. The package includes a sworn affidavit from one of the witnesses confirming the Will was properly signed and witnessed. This is what the court requires when your executor applies for probate, and having it prepared at the same time as the Will spares your family the difficulty of locating a witness years later.

2. Continuing Power of Attorney for Property

Who you appoint. You name your attorney for property, and a substitute who steps in if your first choice dies, becomes incapable, resigns or is otherwise unable to act. You can name more than one person and set out whether they act jointly or independently.

What your attorney can do. Your attorney is authorized to do anything with your property that you could do yourself, with one exception: they cannot make a Will for you. In practice that covers banking, paying bills, filing taxes, managing investments, dealing with your real estate, and running your day-to-day financial life.

Conditions and restrictions. The standard version imposes none, giving your attorney full scope to act. Limits can be added where you want them — for example, restricting authority to certain accounts, or requiring two attorneys to sign off on major transactions.

Matrimonial home. If your spouse sells or mortgages a matrimonial home in which you hold possession rights under the Family Law Act, your attorney can give the consent that transaction requires on your behalf. Without this clause, a routine sale or refinancing can stall.

Revoking earlier documents. Any earlier power of attorney over your property is revoked, with a carve-out for banking authorities you have given a financial institution, so existing arrangements at your bank are not accidentally undone.

Delegation. Your attorney may appoint a substitute attorney with the same or narrower powers, revoke that appointment, and delegate particular acts or decisions — useful where specialized help is needed.

Gifts and loans. Your attorney may make gifts and loans to your relatives and friends, and charitable gifts, within the guiding principles the Substitute Decisions Act sets out. The document records your wish that their judgment be respected, since these decisions inevitably involve discretion.

Compensation. Your attorney may take compensation from your property for the work they do, at the fee scale prescribed under the Act.

3. Power of Attorney for Personal Care

Who you appoint. You name your attorney for personal care and a substitute, on the same basis as the property document. Many people appoint the same person for both; there is no requirement to.

What your attorney decides. Your attorney can make any personal care decision you are mentally incapable of making, specifically including:

  • Health care and medical treatment
  • Nutrition
  • Shelter and living arrangements
  • Clothing
  • Hygiene
  • Safety
  • Giving or refusing consent to treatment under the Health Care Consent Act
  • Whether measures that would artificially prolong your life are continued or stopped

End-of-life instructions. The document contains a direction that if two physicians — one of them your attending physician — certify that you have a terminal condition and that death will occur regardless of life-sustaining procedures, those procedures are to be withheld or withdrawn so that you can die naturally, with treatment continuing only to provide comfort and relieve pain. This instruction is yours to keep, change or remove; it is written in but nothing obliges you to adopt it.

Expenses. Your attorney for personal care can be reimbursed from your property for reasonable expenses incurred on your behalf, including lost wages for time away from work, and your attorney for property is instructed to make those payments.

Confirmations. The document records that you and your attorney are both at least sixteen, that you believe your attorney has genuine concern for your welfare, and that you understand they may have to make these decisions for you.

  • This page is for general information about the standard clauses contained in our online estates packages. It is not legal advice, and no solicitor-client relationship is created by reading it. To better understand the terms of your will and powers of attorney, we highly recommend that you schedule a consultation with one of our estate lawyers. Using our online will creation service does not create a solicitor-client relationship, unless a consultation is paid for and scheduled with one of our estate planning lawyers.

“Contacted Kainth Law Group about getting our will done prior to going away. It was such short notice I didn’t expect them to be able to get it done in time. They did. I’m so thankful to be able to leave knowing that everything is in place should something happen.
If I could give more stars I would.”
