When a lawyer or notary is the better choice

If you own a business, have a family member who will need long-term support, are separated, own significant property outside Canada, or have a large or complex estate, a lawyer (or a notary in Québec) can give you advice on your situation that an online Will on its own cannot. Our free questionnaire points you to a professional when that is the better route.

Common questions

Still deciding? These are the questions people ask us most about Epilogue.

An older woman and a younger woman going over a document together at home

Yes. A Will is $49.95^CAD at LegalWills.ca and $139 at Epilogue, and our Will, Power of Attorney, and Living Will package is $99.95^CAD, compared with $199. Epilogue includes updates for life. With a lifetime membership, our Will costs $109.90^CAD in total, and our Premium package costs $199.90^CAD, about the same as Epilogue's $199.

Your purchase includes a year of unlimited updates. After that, a membership is optional: you can extend by a year, ten years, or for life whenever you like, and nothing renews automatically. A membership keeps your complete documents printable and your Keyholders' access active; without one, you can still make changes, but only the first page of each document prints. The Will you have signed stays valid whether or not you renew.

In Québec, for Wills only; in the territories, no. Epilogue prepares a Québec Will made in the presence of witnesses and can point you to a notary for a notarial Will, but it does not offer a Power of Attorney or health care document in Québec. LegalWills.ca works in all 13 provinces and territories, and in Québec it prepares a Will made in the presence of witnesses, a Protection Mandate, and a Power of Attorney, in French or English. Our guide to Wills in Québec explains your options.

With LegalWills.ca, yes. You can divide your estate in percentages or fractions, leave gifts of money or items, each with an optional backup, and set a separate trust for each child. In Epilogue's questionnaire, children share equally, and unequal shares are referred to a lawyer. Some situations, such as a trust for a family member with a disability, need a lawyer whichever service you use.

Keyholders are people you trust, such as your Executor, who can unlock the documents and files you choose after your death. Adding Keyholders is free. Each Keyholder can have a free digital wallet card, as a PDF or in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, with a QR code that takes them straight to the Keyholder sign-in; a one-time code sent to their phone confirms it is really them.

Yes. Both services prepare Wills that comply with the requirements of your province or territory, and both give you signing instructions. A Will becomes legally valid once it is properly signed and witnessed as that law requires. Epilogue's terms say its documents are generated automatically, without review. Every LegalWills.ca purchase includes AnswerCheck™, which uses AI to check your answers for possible gaps or inconsistencies, and LegalWills.ca takes part in the Law Society of Ontario's Access to Innovation program and the Law Society of British Columbia's Innovation Sandbox.

No. Epilogue's questions point some families, such as blended families, to a lawyer, but it doesn't offer an AI check of your answers. Every LegalWills.ca purchase includes AnswerCheck™, which uses AI to look for possible gaps or inconsistencies before you sign. AnswerCheck™ isn't a lawyer and it isn't legal advice, and AI can make mistakes or miss things.

Online Reviews

We're committed to providing each and every one of our customers with exceptional client care. Here's what some of our customers had to say.

All Reviews

Very easy to use and excellent value for money compared with other online wills that I searched. Full explanations during the step by step process, and great personal customer service when needed.I like their recommendation to use a separate detailed addendum for Executors which can be kept private and easily amended anytime on your computer. They have a host of other services like their notification service, funeral wishes, etc. Very happy with this product.

Steve Heathcote

Loved this product. So very easy to use and produced an excellent document that was pretty much what my lawyer 15 years ago produced and for a much, much higher fee. Well done Legal Wills.

Jan Kupecz

Great experience. Quicker, easier and less expensive than a lawyer. The digital access is a nice touch as well with being able to appoint key holders in case something happens. So simple and easy to setup. Would have done this ages ago if I knew how quick and painless it could be. Had my sister set hers up the same day and she had no issues either.

Mike Markle

Excellent product. Virtually foolproof step by step instructions. I have told friends and relatives that even if they have an existing lawyer prepared will and they want to make changes, Legal Wills is the way to go because it is so economical. Could not be happier. Thanks Legal Wills!

Tom and Sherry Whiteway

The process of completing my will was very straight forward, and the information provided to help me understand what to do and why to do it was very succinct and practical. It felt much like completing my online tax return. The wizard led me all the way and it was easy!

Fred Van Arragon

I was looking online about making a will and came upon this website. It's fast, user-friendly, easy, and efficient. I feel a lot better knowing I have a will in place as a parent and didn't have to pay so much to get it done. Thank you for this service, Legal Wills!
