How do I get a will?

There are three different types of wills:

• ones drawn up by a lawyer,
• ones that you can complete yourself by filling in forms that you can obtain at any stationary store, and
• ones that you handwrite completely by yourself. Ones that you handwrite are called holograph wills. They are legal in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, but they are not allowed in every province in Canada, so you should check if they are legally acceptable where you live.
