Legal disclaimer

Not a law firm, not legal advice

EstateCanvas is a software platform. We are not a law firm, we do not employ lawyers on your behalf, and nothing on this website or in the application — including generated documents, articles in the learn centre, calculators, checklists and comparison pages — is legal advice. It is general information about Canadian estate law and self-help software for preparing your own documents.

No lawyer–client relationship

Using EstateCanvas does not create a lawyer–client relationship. If you need advice about your specific situation — and we list the situations where you genuinely do at /vs/lawyer — consult a lawyer licensed in your province.

About the legal information on this site

We work hard to make our information accurate: legal claims cite their statutes, pages carry the date they were last reviewed, and we correct errors when readers report them. Legislation and case law change, and we make no warranty that any page reflects the law on the day you read it. Verify anything you rely on against the cited source, and treat figures on dated pages accordingly.

Your documents are your responsibility

Documents generated by EstateCanvas take legal effect only when executed — signed and witnessed — in accordance with your province's law. You are responsible for reviewing your documents before approving them (the product is built to make you do exactly that), executing them correctly using the instructions provided, and keeping them current as your life and the law change.

Comparisons

Competitor prices and features on our comparison pages are taken from competitors' own public materials, with the date checked shown on each page. They can change without our knowledge. Trademarks belong to their owners; comparisons are provided for information under fair-comparison principles, and we correct any inaccuracy promptly on notice toour contact address.
