LegalWills & NotaryPro Offer Canada’s 1st Digital Process to Create & Witness a Will

Canadians will be able to create and virtually commission their Wills without leaving their home.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 16, 2023 – Two leading online platforms, LegalWills and NotaryPro Technologies Inc. (NotaryPro), have announced an extended partnership to make it even easier and more convenient for Canadians to create and virtually commission their Wills in the first fully digital process. The program will launch in Ontario before rolling out across all provinces and territories.

LegalWills provides users with a simple and affordable way to draft their custom Wills online. The platform offers a user-friendly interface that allows customers to create a Will and other estate planning documents according to their unique circumstances and preferences.

NotaryPro provides users with access to a network of trusted, licensed notaries who can virtually commission documents. The platform offers a fast, easy, and secure way to get documents commissioned online, without the need for in-person meetings.

Under the new partnership, LegalWills clients have direct access to NotaryPro’s Virtual Will Signing service through the LegalWills platform. This integration is the first time that Canadians will be able to create and commission their Wills within a single service. Virtual Will Commissioning has already saved Canadians thousands of dollars in legal fees by eliminating the need to schedule in-person appointments with lawyers or a visit to a commissioner’s office. 

“We are thrilled to partner with NotaryPro to offer our users a more comprehensive and streamlined solution for creating and virtually commissioning their Wills,” said Tim Hewson, CEO of Canadian LegalWills. “As a result, this will be the first time that somebody can prepare their fully legal document without leaving their home; which is important for anybody with geographic limitations or mobility challenges.”

“We are excited to continue to grow our relationship with LegalWills to provide a complete online solution for a service as essential as Will creation and witnessing,” said Robert Onley, CEO of NotaryPro. “This partnership represents our shared commitment to innovation, customer service, and providing the best possible experience for our clients.”

The partnership is effective immediately, and users of LegalWills can now access NotaryPro virtual commissioning services directly from the LegalWills platform.
