Looking to make a will. Anybody have any suggestions? Are online ones any good or do I need a proper lawyer? Things to look out for?

    If your situation is normal to the point of boring, you can do an online will. Follow the instructions very carefully. If you have any property (including a savings account) in other provinces or other countries, a blended family, charitable bequests, get a lawyer who does estates and wills.

      Thanks, yeah, sounds like it’s worth getting one then as I meet some of those criteria.

      Any advice on how to find a good lawyer?

        LinkedIn, look for lawyers that specialize in wills and estates, then interview three or four. Or all family, friends and neighbours if they have worked with a lawyer that they liked. Ask about their prices and their rates. You don’t want someone who just uses a template and file in the blanks, you want one that will ask you a lot of equations to really understand your situation.

        If you’re in Alberta, DM me and I can recommend a couple.
