About us
LegalWills started in 2000. Founders Henry and Tim both worked for a large tech company and had a tradition of Friday after-work drinks. On one of said Fridays, the topic of Wills came up when a colleague mentioned that they knew they needed a Will, but didn’t have one. It turned out that not one person out of the 15 around the table had a Will. They were a mixed group; some had children, some owned a house, some were married, but what they all had in common was that the all had decent jobs and all knew they needed a Will, yet not one of them had one. It seemed like a broken system, and this got Henry and Tim’s wheels turning. They started meeting with a number of lawyers to see if there was potential for a more convenient, affordable solution, and LegalWills was born. Our first Will service went online in 2001, and the service has been expanded and improved every year for the last 20 years.

Oops we think our age is showing 🤫 Here’s a throwback to this very day way back in 2003! This was the very first version of LegalWills.ca and as dated as it is, we promise it was ahead of the game at the time - in fact, we were the first digital Will service and pioneered the online estate planning industry. Enjoy this blast from the digital past and check out our current website at LegalWills.ca while you still can…we just might be launching our new and improved look next week!

Today marks the beginning of Make a Will Week in beautiful British Columbia! In case you didn’t know, British Columbia is the only Canadian province that legally allows for electronic signing of Wills. In 2021 we partnered with leading technology provider, Syngrafii Inc., to provide an easy to use end-end solution to creating and signing your Will online. To celebrate Make a Will Week, we are offering FREE e-signing for all BC customers from today through to October 12th, 2024. There is no action to take - simply visit legalwills.ca, and if you are in BC, e-signing will be automatically set to a cost of $0 for the week.

We all know having a Will is important, but do your loved ones actually know where to find it when the time comes? Leaving your final wishes tucked away in a desk drawer or safety deposit box doesn't do much good. When you create a Will with LegalWills.ca, not only is it safe online but you also assign keyholders to your Will who are allowed to access your Will when the time comes. Simple, straightforward, and secure.
