TL;DR: The LegalWills.ca blog has moved from legalwills.wordpress.com to its permanent home at LegalWills.ca/blog, alongside Canada’s most trusted online Will-writing service. The site is fully responsive and works on all devices.

Our blog existed on WordPress.com from August 2010 until we published more than 100 articles before moving all content to LegalWills.ca/blog. The relocation brings our educational materials together with our main Will-writing service which has been helping Canadians since 2000. The system creates a smooth connection between users who want to learn about estate planning and those who need to make their official documents.

After running our blog on WordPress.com since August 2010 and publishing over 100 articles, we migrated everything to LegalWills.ca/blog. The move brings our educational content under the same roof as our core Will-writing service, which has served Canadians since 2000. This integration means a seamless experience between learning about estate planning and actually creating your legal documents.

What Changed with the New Site?

The entire LegalWills.ca website was redesigned to be fully responsive. Whether you are reading on a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone, the site adapts to your screen automatically. This redesign coincided with our fourteenth year of providing online Will preparation services to Canadians, reflecting our ongoing commitment to accessibility and modern design.

The entire LegalWills.ca website was redesigned to be fully responsive. The website automatically adjusts its display when users access it through desktop computers or tablets or smartphones. Our company decided to redesign its website during our fourteenth year of online Will preparation services because we wanted to keep our services available to all customers while updating our website design.

The original blog at legalwills.wordpress.com hosted well over 100 articles covering Wills, estate planning, powers of attorney, and end-of-life planning in Canada. With the migration complete, this new blog continues that tradition with fresh, regularly published content. Explore our articles on topics including whether you need a Will, what happens when you die without a Will in Canada, and common myths about Canadian Wills.

What Happened to the Old Blog Content?

LegalWills.ca is Canada’s longest-running online Will service, operating continuously since 2000.

The entire process takes minutes and costs a fraction of what a lawyer charges. To get started, visit our step-by-step guide to writing your Will.
