Why both
Plan for life, not just for after
Your will directs what happens to your estate after you pass away. But if illness or an accident leaves you unable to manage your own affairs, it is a power of attorney — not a will — that lets someone you trust step in. Without one, your family may need a court appointment to make even routine decisions.
That is why WillCraft.me treats powers of attorney as part of a complete plan rather than an upsell. Every package includes the documents that cover both your finances and your care.
What you get
Two documents, two kinds of protection
The exact names depend on your province, but the protection is the same: someone you choose can act for you if you cannot.
- A power of attorney for your property and finances
- A power of attorney for your personal care and medical decisions
- A primary attorney plus a backup for each role
- Province-correct documents for Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia
- Your health and end-of-life wishes captured alongside your will
No surprises
In the standard price — not an add-on
On many online will services, powers of attorney are an extra purchase or reserved for a higher tier. WillCraft.me includes both in its single flat price, generated from the same guided questionnaire as your will — so nothing important is left out and nothing costs extra.
Frequently asked questions
- What powers of attorney does WillCraft.me include?
- In Ontario, WillCraft.me generates a Continuing Power of Attorney for Property and a Power of Attorney for Personal Care. In Alberta the equivalents are an Enduring Power of Attorney and a Personal Directive; in British Columbia, an Enduring Power of Attorney and a Representation Agreement. They are part of the standard package at no extra cost.
- What is the difference between a will and a power of attorney?
- A will takes effect after you die and directs who receives your estate. A power of attorney takes effect while you are alive — it names someone you trust to manage your finances or make health decisions if you become unable to. A complete plan needs both, which is why WillCraft.me includes them together.
- Why do I need a power of attorney for property and one for personal care?
- They cover different decisions. A power of attorney for property lets your attorney pay bills, manage accounts, and handle assets. A power of attorney for personal care (or personal directive / representation agreement, depending on the province) lets someone make medical and care decisions on your behalf. Many people name a primary attorney and a backup for each.
- Do other online will services charge extra for powers of attorney?
- On many platforms, powers of attorney are sold as a separate add-on or sit in a higher-priced tier. WillCraft.me includes both documents in its single flat price.
