easyWill - online Will preparation service.

This Will Questionnaire is for customers who are single. This includes customers who are widowed, divorced, separated and never married. If you are currently living with a spouse (married or common law) you need to complete our Will Questionnaire for Married Couples .

We are currently only able to prepare a Will for you if you have one or more children.

The entire Will Questionnaire is on this one web page and we recommend you scroll through the page to familiarize yourself with the questions before you get started. For security reasons you are not able to store your information and come back later.

If you currently use the last name of a former spouse then continue to use if for your Will. You should also try to use the full legal names for Executors, Guardians and Beneficiaries. However, for Executors, Guardians and Beneficiaries you can use the common names they go by (if you don’t know their full legal names) as long as there will not be any confusion about who you were referring to. When inserting names, type them from first to last. The names will appear in your Will exactly the way you type them here.

Insert your full legal name from first name to last name (Include all middle names):

Executor

The Executor is the person you choose to look after your estate and manage trusts for any beneficiaries who are too young to receive their money right away. You should pick an Executor who is honest, good with paperwork and numbers, and willing to do the job. It is useful if your Executor lives near where your assets are located but not critical. You can name a beneficiary of your Will to be your Executor.

Most people select one person to act as Executor and name a back up in case the first choice is unable to do the job. You can also select two people to work together as your Co-Executors (if only one of them is able to do the job, he or she can do it alone).

Select one of the following three options and provide the name of your Executor(s):

One Executor.
One Executor with one back up Executor.
Co-Executors.

Executor

Guardian

If you have one or more minor children then you can appoint a Guardian for them in your Will.

You can name an individual or a couple as Guardian(s).

If your minor child already has another living parent then that person will likely automatically become the sole guardian if you die, however, you can still name a guardian in the event that your child’s other parent is also deceased or unwilling to act.

Select one of the following options and provide the name(s) of the Guardian(s) (if applicable):

I do not want to appoint a Guardian in my Will.
I want to appoint a Guardian in case I have one or more minor children who outlive me.

Gift of Estate to Children

Most people with one or more children leave there entire estate equally among their children. This is what we recommend to reduce the chance of your children fighting over your estate. A Will stating you want your estate to go equally among your children will work whether you have one child or many children.

Your Will should also address the possibility that a child of yours could die before you. If you are like most people then you want your deceased child’s share to go to the children of your deceased child (your grandchildren from the deceased child) if any, and If your deceased child does not have any children then his or her share should go equally to your other children, if any.

Check the box below to confirm that you want this standard wording in your Will:

I want my estate to be divided equally among my children. If a child of mine dies before me but leaves one or more children of his or her own alive at my death, a share will be created for that deceased child to be distributed equally among that deceased child’s own children.

Disaster Clause

Your Will can address the possibility that you and your children die together in a common accident and you do not have any grandchildren or great grandchildren living to inherit your estate. This is known as a “disaster clause”. If your children are all adults and you have grandchildren then you probably don’t need a disaster clause in your Will unless you all travel together on holidays. If you only have one child or all of your children are minors then you should consider having a disaster clause in your Will.

Select one of the following options for distributing your estate in the event that you do not have any children, grandchildren or great grandchildren who outlive you:

I do not want a disaster clause in my Will.
Divide my estate equally among my siblings who outlive me.
        If a sibling dies before me but leaves one or more children of his or her own alive at my death, a share will be created for that deceased sibling to be
        distributed equally among that deceased siblings's own children.
Divide my estate equally among my parents and siblings who outlive me.
        If a sibling dies before me but leaves one or more children of his or her own alive at my death, a share will be created for that deceased sibling to be
        distributed equally among that deceased siblings's own children. No share will be created for a parent who dies before me.
Divide my estate equally among the beneficiaries named below who outlive me.
     (input boxes will appear once this option is selected).
        Only the individuals who outlive me will receive a equal share. If a beneficiary dies before me, his or her share will be divided among the other named
        beneficiaries who outlive me.
Divide my estate among the beneficiaries names below in the percentages specified by me
     (input boxes will appear once this option is selected).
        Only the individuals who outlive me will receive a percentage. If a beneficiary dies before me, his or her percentage will be divided among the named
        beneficiaries who outlive me.

Trust Terms for Young Beneficiaries

All Wills must include trust terms for young beneficiaries in case a young person becomes entitled to a share of your estate. Money held in trust for a young beneficiary is not locked away. The Executor of your Will becomes the Trustee of the money and can spend the money on behalf of the young beneficiary. For example the money can be used to assist the beneficiary’s guardian with cost of raising the beneficiary and also to pay for education costs, rent, etc. The Executor can even pay out an allowance to the beneficiary. Most Wills hold money in trust for young beneficiaries until they reach their early 20s.

Select the age at which you want young beneficiaries to receive their inheritance:

19
20
21
22
23
24
25
