APP LIMITATIONS
Our online app gives you the opportunity to create your will (attested or notarial) at your own pace by completing an intelligent questionnaire.
Depending on whether you choose to make an attested or a notarial will, the following particularities apply:
Attested Will
To generate your attested will, our app only takes into account the answers you have given and the information you have provided.
Our tool being intended to generate a form allowing you to build your basic will including only a universal legacy, one or more specific legacies, the appointment of a liquidator and the appointment of a tutor to minor children, it is possible that the questions asked do not cover all aspects of your estate planning.
Accordingly, by making your own attested will, you agree and understand that:
Our app will generate the form of your attested will automatically and instantly.
For your will to be valid, you must print it, date it and sign it with your two (2) witnesses in the places provided (your initials and those of the witnesses on each page and signatures at the end). Your witnesses must be adults and not be named as legatees or heirs in the will.
Attested wills must be subject to a probate procedure upon death. This procedure is carried out either before a notary or before the court. This procedure involves costs upon death. By using our app, you acknowledge having been advised that will probate fees would be payable upon your death.
Notarial will
Once your questionnaire has been completed, you will be invited to choose a date for a first virtual meeting with a Nolos legal advisor.
During this meeting, which lasts about 30-45 minutes, our advisor will review your draft will, give you general information, and make recommendations if necessary.
If modifications to the sections “universal legacy”, “particular legacy”, “liquidator” or “guardian to minor children” were necessary, these will be made free of charge.
However, the addition of other sections, such as, but not limited to, a trust clause or an extended administration clause, will involve additional costs, which will be subject to prior evaluation.
Thereafter, you must provide us with the documents required to establish your identity and legal capacity.
Once your file is complete, you will be invited to choose the date of your second virtual appointment for the signing of your notarial will.
During this second meeting with a notary from Nolos, your will will be read to you in full, after which the electronic signature will take place.
Your notarial will will then be registered in the Register of Testamentary Dispositions of the Chambre des notaires du Québec, after which an authentic copy (certified copy) will be sent to you electronically by email.
Notarial wills do not have to be probated upon death.
