Prices are in Canadian dollars. Ours are before tax, which is added at checkout for your province or territory; competitor prices are as published, and most of them also add tax at checkout. Our prices are always current; competitor details were checked on September 27, 2026.

For comparison: estate lawyers' fees for Wills and Powers of Attorney for a couple average about $1,450 across Canada, and about $1,750 in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, according to eState Planner's pricing guide for lawyers, and a lawyer can advise you on situations that an online Will on its own cannot. A downloadable do-it-yourself kit, such as Self-Counsel's Complete Canadian Wills Kit, costs $24.95 and is not for use in Québec.

When a lawyer or notary is the better choice

If you own a business, have a family member who will need long-term financial 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.
