Frequently Asked Questions
For most standard wills, you can expect your will to be fully drafted, reviewed, and signed within 7 to 10 business days from your initial consultation. This timeline may vary depending on the complexity of your estate and your specific needs. If you require your documents sooner, we offer expedited services for an additional fee, ensuring your will can be finalized within a shorter timeframe.
At this time, we offer mobile services throughout the Calgary metropolitan area. If you are located outside of Calgary, please contact us to discuss options, as we may be able to accommodate your request.
If you need to update your will after it has been executed, we can assist you in making the necessary amendments or drafting a new will. Depending on the changes, fees may apply. Minor updates may require a codicil, while major changes could involve a new will.
Our mobile service allows us to come to your home, office, or any convenient location. We’ll meet at a time that suits you—whether early mornings, evenings, or weekends—to review and execute your documents. This flexibility is designed to make estate planning as stress-free as possible.
Before your consultation, it’s helpful to have a list of your assets, any special instructions for distributing them, and the names of individuals you want to assign as executors, guardians, and attorneys for your EPA and personal directive. We will guide you through any specific questions you may have.
We accept payments via e-transfer, cash or credit card. A 50% deposit is required before we begin drafting your documents, with the balance due upon document execution.
Our services are primarily provided in English. However, if you require assistance in another language, please contact us to see if one of our lawyers is fluent in the language you need. If translation services are required, we can coordinate with professional translators, and additional fees may apply.
While it’s not legally required, working with experienced wills and estates lawyers in Calgary ensures your documents meet Alberta’s legal standards, reducing potential disputes or errors.
