Frequently
Asked
Questions

  • Technically, no. But if you want a will that’s legally sound, clearly written, and hard to dispute, then yes, you need a lawyer or paralegal. At Hepburn + Glass, we don’t just fill in the blanks. We help you think through decisions, avoid mistakes, and write a will that actually protects your family the way you intend.

  • Online templates can’t ask questions, catch gaps, or tailor advice to your life. We can. Our lawyers take the time to understand what really matters to you—so your will reflects your priorities, not a generic form. And if anything changes in your life, we’ll be here to help you update it with confidence.

  • Maybe. If you’ve had major life changes—like a new child, a divorce, or a move—it’s worth reviewing. A quick conversation with one of our team members could save your family a lot of confusion (and legal costs) later on.

  • Your estate will be distributed based on provincial rules, not personal wishes. That could mean delays, confusion, and outcomes you wouldn’t have chosen. A legally sound will from Hepburn + Glass keeps things clear, fair, and in your control.

  • Yes. Your will is a private document until your death, at which point it becomes part of the probate process. We keep all client documents strictly confidential and can also help you decide where and how to store your will securely.

  • Yes. A will isn’t just about money. It’s about naming guardians, avoiding family conflict, and leaving clear instructions for the people you care about. We’ll make sure it’s simple, practical, and worth your while.

  • Yes, and we often recommend handling them at the same time as your will. These documents let you choose who will make decisions for you if you’re ever unable to—something just as important as planning for what happens after you’re gone.

  • It depends on your situation, but we’ll always be upfront about pricing. For most straightforward wills, we offer flat rates, so there are no surprises. If your estate needs more complex planning, we’ll walk you through the options and make sure you only pay for what you actually need.
