Most people can prepare their own wills without the cost of retaining a lawyer. However, there are some situations when it is recommended that you do retain a lawyer. You should consult a lawyer if you are:

• about to be married, separated or are in the process of getting divorced
• the owner of a large, complex estate
• very old or suffering from mental or physical disabilities
• the owner of real estate outside your province or country of residence, or
• disinheriting a child or spouse.
