Calgary Legal wills lawyer

If you are married, do you have a will for each person or just one will for the husband and wife?

QUESTION

A will only applies to one person. The

husband has his own will, and the wife has her own

will. However, both wills are usually

very similar.

ANSWER

Is a will drafted in Alberta valid in other countries?

QUESTION

In many countries, a will drafted in Alberta would likely be valid. Such countries are probably those that have a legal system similar to the one used in Alberta, which is derived from the English common law legal tradition. I recommend that clients who are planning on living in any country outside of Canada check with a lawyer in that country to determine whether their Alberta wills would be considered valid.

ANSWER

Do you offer

services in Korean?

QUESTION

Yes. Understanding legal documents can be tricky, even if English is your native language. It can be even more difficult to understand legal documents, such as wills, if English is not your first language.

ANSWER

While the will, power of attorney, and personal directive will be drafted in English, I can provide a native Korean speaker, who is also a trained legal assistant, to help with interpreting for Korean clients who have English as a second language.

If you would like to make use of this service, please let me know. You can also call the phone number dedicated to Korean clients at 403-450-7523.
