Will for New Parents in Alberta
A legally valid will built to Alberta’s Wills and Succession Act by a licensed attorney — written with new parents in mind.
What new parents should know
- Naming a guardian is the single most important thing a new parent does in a will — without it, a court decides who raises your children.
- Name a guardian for your children, and a backup in case your first choice cannot serve.
- Set an age at which children inherit outright, so a young adult does not receive everything at 18.
- Appoint someone to manage money for your children until they reach that age.
- Alberta follows Alberta law — your will 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.
