What wills and estates lawyers in Calgary help with

Wills and estates lawyers prepare wills and powers of attorney, help families administer an estate after a death, and advise on estate disputes. Many firms in this area also handle real estate, so the two often appear together.

Wills & Estates law in Alberta: what to know

In Alberta, planning for incapacity usually means an enduring power of attorney and a personal directive. Ask your lawyer which documents fit your situation.

How to choose a wills and estates lawyer in Calgary

  1. Confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with the Law Society of Alberta.
  2. Ask how much of their practice is wills and estates, and how recent their experience is with cases like yours.
  3. Compare the Google rating together with the number of reviews, not the rating alone.
  4. Read recent reviews for comments on communication and responsiveness.
  5. Ask for the fee structure in writing before you sign, including what is billed separately.
  6. Meet with more than one firm if the matter is large, and trust the one that explains your options clearly.

Questions to ask at your first consultation

What to bring

How the process usually works

  1. You describe your family, assets and wishes in a first meeting.
  2. The lawyer drafts the documents and reviews them with you.
  3. You sign with the required witnesses, usually at the lawyer's office.
  4. The originals are stored safely and you are told where they are.
  5. For an estate, the lawyer prepares the court application, notifies beneficiaries and distributes the estate.

Costs and fees

Simple wills and powers of attorney are often quoted as a flat fee. Estate administration is more variable, so ask whether the quote is flat, hourly or a percentage. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
