The difference
Not just a document — a plan everyone can follow
Most online will services hand you a will and stop there. But a will alone leaves your family with hard questions: What accounts exist? What needs probate? What has to happen first? WillCraft.me answers them by building a complete, personalized action plan around your will.
Everything is generated from the same guided questionnaire and adapts to your situation and asset types — there is no generic checklist, because no two estates are the same.
For you
Your next steps, clearly laid out
A will only becomes valid once it is signed correctly — and only works if the right people can find it. WillCraft.me gives you a personalized next-steps guide so nothing falls through the cracks:
- How to sign and witness your will so it is valid in your province
- Where to store your documents and who should know
- Which accounts or beneficiaries to keep in sync with your will
- When to come back and update — life changes, and your will should too
For your executor
Instructions and a probate action plan
Settling an estate is a real job, usually done by someone who has never done it before. WillCraft.me equips your executor with a clear, asset-aware plan:
- Step-by-step executor instructions tailored to your province
- A probate action plan that reflects which of your assets need probate
- A full asset schedule so nothing is lost or overlooked
- Guidance shaped by your asset types — real estate, business shares, registered accounts, insurance, and more
- Executor Direct Access so your latest documents reach them when needed
Built around your assets
Personalized to what you actually own
Because the plan is generated from your real holdings, it changes with your estate. A business owner with private-corporation shares gets different probate guidance than someone whose estate is a home and a few accounts. That asset awareness is also why WillCraft.me can offer dual wills — a structure that keeps eligible business and personal assets out of probate in Ontario and British Columbia.
Frequently asked questions
- What does WillCraft.me create besides the will itself?
- Alongside your will and powers of attorney, WillCraft.me generates an asset schedule, executor instructions with a province-specific probate action plan, and a personalized next-steps guide for you. Together they tell everyone exactly what to do — both now and after you pass.
- Will my executor actually know what to do?
- Yes. Being an executor is a big job, and most people have never done it. WillCraft.me produces step-by-step executor instructions tailored to your assets and province — including a probate action plan — plus a full asset schedule so your executor can find and settle everything without guesswork.
- How are the action items personalized?
- The guidance adapts to your situation and the types of assets you hold. Real estate, private-corporation shares, registered accounts, insurance, and personal property each carry different steps for probate and transfer, so your executor instructions and your own next steps reflect what you actually own.
- What is an asset schedule?
- An asset schedule is an organized inventory of everything you own — accounts, properties, investments, policies, and business interests — with the details your executor needs to locate and manage each one. It is one of the most valuable documents you can leave behind.
- How does my executor receive these documents?
- Through Executor Direct Access. Your executor verifies by email and requests access; you approve, or the latest version is delivered automatically after four weeks of non-response — so your instructions reach them when they are needed most. The copies delivered this way are unsigned reference copies, not a substitute for your original signed will.
