Editorial policy
Our articles explain Canadian wills, estates, probate and funeral planning in plain language. This page sets out how we write them.
Who writes our articles
Our articles are written and maintained by the It's Simple Will team. AI tools may have assisted with the research and writing.
Where our information comes from
We rely on primary sources first: provincial and territorial laws, federal laws, court decisions and government websites. Every article lists the sources it relies on.
Keeping articles current
Laws and government programs change. We aim to update articles when they do, and every article shows the date it was last updated.
General information, not advice
Our articles are general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. It's Simple Will is a DIY-assisted will kit, not a law firm. If your situation is complex, consider speaking with a licensed Canadian estate-planning lawyer.
How we're funded
It's Simple Will is paid for by the people who use our products. We don't sell insurance, no one pays to be mentioned in our articles, and we don't name or rank other will services.
