What a lawyer typically charges for a basic will. This kit is free.
Most owners don't need a full estate plan to start. The kit gives you a legally valid will — then you decide whether a specialist makes sense for the business side.
Angus Reid Institute, 2023
More than half of Canadian adults have no will.
Business owners are no exception — leaving their shares, their staff, and their family's income exposed.
What's actually at stake
If you died on a random Tuesday, who signs the cheques?
A will alone doesn't move a single share of your company. Without a shareholder agreement, a named signing authority, and a plan for the CRA's deemed disposition on your shares, your family inherits a business they can't run — and a tax bill nobody warned them about. That's the part a generic will kit never mentions.
Common questions
Straight answers
Yes. A corporate structure covers the business entity, not your personal estate. You still need a personal will regardless of how your business is structured.
No. If you have partners or shareholders, pair this with a buy-sell agreement. This kit covers the personal will every owner needs regardless — the foundational piece a buy-sell agreement doesn't replace.
Yes. No cost, no credit card. Your kit downloads immediately and a copy is emailed to you.
No. The kit is general information only, not legal advice. Always confirm your specific situation with a qualified lawyer.
