Willful review
A focused Canadian wills platform with powers of attorney and free updates.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Willful is a Canadian web platform for creating wills and powers of attorney through a structured questionnaire. It is aimed at individuals with straightforward estates who need provincially tailored documents, executor and guardian designations, beneficiary and gift instructions, and guidance for signing and witnessing. The platform covers 10 provinces or jurisdictions and supports personal-care and healthcare powers of attorney as well as property and financial powers of attorney. It is less suited to people whose plans involve complex trusts or other specialized legal situations.
Pricing is organized as one-time purchases in Canadian dollars. Legal Essentials costs CAD 129 and includes a last will and testament, access to multiple will registries, and free unlimited updates. Premium Coverage costs CAD 199 and adds powers of attorney for health and property plus an estate inventory tool. Premium x 2 costs CAD 349 and provides two wills, two health powers of attorney, two property powers of attorney, and two estate inventory tools, alongside registry access and free unlimited updates. Applicable provincial taxes may also apply.
The platform’s strongest fit is its focused document workflow: users can record executors, guardians, beneficiaries, gifts, attorneys, registration details, and estate inventory information, then download documents with province-specific signing instructions. Free updates are useful when circumstances change. The scope remains deliberately narrow, with web access, no trust support, and no document storage. Choose Willful for a straightforward Canadian estate plan that needs a will and, on the relevant tiers, powers of attorney. Choose a lawyer instead when the estate requires complex trusts or other specialized planning.
