How much does it cost to get a will?

Question

Typically I charge $350 plus GST for one person and $600 plus GST for a couple. These fees include preparing a Personal Directive and a Power of Attorney. Additional charges may occasionally apply.

Answer

Question

If you don’t have a will when you die does the government take

whatever you own?

No, but this is a common misconception. In Alberta, if you don’t have a will, the Intestate Succession Act determines how your assets are to be divided.

Answer

Question

If you are married, do you have a will for each person or just one will for the husband and wife?

A will only applies to one person. The husband has his own will, and the wife has her own will. However, both wills are usually very similar.
