Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is included in the will preparation service?
The will preparation engagement covers a guided intake questionnaire, a one-on-one consultation to discuss your wishes, beneficiaries, and executor choice, followed by drafting of your will, power of attorney, and personal directive. You'll receive a walkthrough session before anything is finalized, and we provide both secure digital copies and printed originals.
I'm not sure whether to incorporate or operate as a sole proprietor. Can you help me decide?
Yes — the Small Business Formation Package begins with a consultation specifically to evaluate your situation and goals. We'll walk through the practical considerations for sole proprietorships, partnerships, provincial incorporation, and federal incorporation so you can make the choice that fits. No structure is pushed on you; we're here to inform, not to steer.
How long does the business formation process take?
The Small Business Formation Package is typically completed within 3 to 4 weeks from the point of initial consultation. This includes filing time with provincial or federal registries, which can vary slightly. You'll receive updates at each stage of the process.
I'm a tenant reviewing a commercial lease. Can your lease service help me?
Absolutely. The Lease & Tenancy service is available for both landlords and tenants. For tenants, we provide a plain-language review of the proposed agreement, identify clauses worth discussing, and support negotiation conversations. For commercial tenants entering multi-year leases, this is particularly valuable before anything is signed.
Are your fees all-inclusive, or will additional charges apply?
The listed fees are fixed and cover everything described in each service. There are no hourly add-ons or hidden charges. Any government filing fees are communicated transparently at the outset, and you'll always know the total cost before any work begins.
How do I get started?
Simply reach out through the contact form below, send us an email at [email protected], or call +1 (902) 483-7162 during business hours. We'll schedule a brief introductory call to understand your needs and confirm which service is the right fit before anything is committed.
