Jacob Murad’s services were impeccable. He has a great legal mind, and a capacity to strategically solve complex problems. He was generous with his time, walked me through the process, and extended both his compassion and knowledge of the law. He also acted for me pro bono with the utmost effort and care. Thank you for the positive experience and outcome!
Harpreet took the time to help He listened to me and really tried to help me with my problems He is very knowledgable I would highly recommended
I had an excellent experience working…
I had an excellent experience working with KPA Lawyers, specifically with Emilie-Aloe as my lawyer. She was professional, dedicated, and highly effective throughout the entire process. We pursued legal action against my local police department, and thanks to Emilie-Aloe’s expertise and determination, we achieved a successful outcome. She also worked to have the original news stories retracted, which made a huge difference for me. I highly recommend KPA Lawyers and Emilie-Aloe to anyone looking for strong, reliable legal representation.

Jacob Murad at KPA Lawyers provided me with legal services that were excellent and incredibly helpful. He explained complex topics in an accessible way and was open to any questions I had. Highly recommend!
I am sincerely satisfied with the perseverance and patience of Emilie Aloe in preventing a group of people from escaping liability. The punishment is God's business, but she handled her part professionally. It's a relief my defamation/tort case has been resolved with the intended outcome, even though I made some mistakes along the way. However, Emilie managed well in carrying some of my burden. She is still quite young but just as savvy as a senior lawyer. If you have unfinished business that needs to be settled, KPA can do just that. Six stars out of five.
KPA has put forth a great effort to provide numerous videos on You Tube to help explain the complexities surrounding employment law.
I worked with Sasha Faraone back in 2022, as I had to amend the terms of an original separation agreement which revolved around custody for my son. Sasha was very knowledgeable, kind, considerate and professional. She knew I didn't have a lot of money to work with so ensured that our time spent together was packed with good information and in a forward direction. I was very hesitant getting a lawyer because I've heard horror stories of clients paying a lot of money and not getting a whole lot done. I looked up 5 star lawyers on google and found Sasha. I am very happy that I found her. If you are looking for a family lawyer; I highly recommend Sasha Faraone. Thank you so much Sasha for all of your help.
Emelie was very nice, and very. Helpful! We totally recommend this company
I received good advice on how to proceed with my case. Thanks
we’re here to all your questions
Crafting a will is undoubtedly an emotional task. It’s a time when you’re called to think about the future and often, what life may be like once you’re gone. It’s completely natural to feel a gamut of sentiments, from sadness to anxiety, perhaps even fear.
Our professional Wills & Estates team is here to address all your concerns.
Do I really need to have a Will?
Yes!
If you die in Ontario without a will, the law states that you have died Intestate. More simply put, you have not specified how your property is to be divided and distributed. The Ontario Succession Law Reform Act regulates how to distribute assets and pay debts in this situation.
It’s very important to draft a will to ensure your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected. Without one, your assets may not be distributed the way you intended, and it could cause unnecessary legal complications for your family.
Can I Make My Own Will Online?
There are many online “will builder” services that walk you through a self-service process of creating a will and powers of attorney. At first glance, they are simple to use and will be cheaper than hiring a professional wills & estates lawyer.
However, what you “save” in upfront legal fees, you will pay in the time and effort it will take you to properly sign and store your will so that it is legal and valid.
Further, if you have any complexity to your will such as complex clauses, dual wills for business owners, life insurance trusts, Henson trusts, blended families, and others, an online self-service platform will not be right for you.
Can I digitally sign my will?
Even if you choose to use an online will building service, in order to be legal and valid, your will still needs to be physically signed in the presence of two witnesses. Digital signatures are not recognized.
Your witnesses cannot be beneficiaries of your estate, the spouse of a beneficiary at the time of signing, or a minor. Each witness must also be at least the age of majority and mentally capable.
Practically speaking, this means that after going through the whole will creation process, you need to print the documents and organize a meeting with two unrelated people to serve as witnesses, which is simple to do at a lawyer’s office.
Can I store my will online?
No, a printed, physical copy of your will is the only legal version. A digital copy is not valid. Therefore, once your will is printed and signed correctly, that copy needs to be stored in a safe place where your executor will be able to find it upon your passing.
Once completed, we will store your will securely in our fireproof safe.
How Much does it Cost to do my will?
After signing your Will, it will be securely stored at our office to maintain validity and if you ever need to make changes.
Wills should be reviewed every 3 years to account for any significant life changes. Unless you do so first, we will contact you when it’s time for a review.
While your initial consultation is free, you can expect to pay a $300 retainer fee to engage our firm.
The price of a will starts at $500+HST for an individual, and $800+HST for couples. The final cost of the Will varies on the specific items required for your unique needs (eg. POA’s, trusts etc.).
You will be provided with a full cost estimate during your consultation.
What Happens after I sign my will?
After signing your Will, it will be securely stored at our office to maintain validity and if you ever need to make changes.
Wills should be reviewed every 3 years to account for any significant life changes. Unless you do so first, we will contact you when it’s time for a review.
Do I need anything else?
That’s up to you. As part of Bluestar Professional Services, we can offer a free financial review from a licensed wealth planner to help you minimize estate taxes.
We are also able to offer executor services if you don’t have a reliable person to assign as your estate trustee, or prefer a neutral third party.
