What common-law couples should know
- Common-law partners are often NOT automatically protected by intestacy rules — which makes a will more urgent, not less.
- In many jurisdictions a common-law partner does not inherit automatically without a will.
- Name each other expressly, and name each other as attorney for property and personal care.
- Without documents in place, your partner may have no authority to act for you in a medical emergency.
- Alberta follows Alberta law — your mirror wills is governed by the Wills and Succession Act.
- An Alberta will must be signed by you and witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries.
- Alberta recognises holograph wills written wholly in your own handwriting and signed by you.
