Question
If you are married, do you have a will for each
person or just one will for the husband and wife?
3
Answer
A will only applies to one person. The husband
has his own will, and the wife has her own will.
However, both wills are usually very similar.

Question
Is a will drafted in Alberta valid in other
countries?
5
Answer
In many countries, a will drafted in Alberta
would likely be valid. Such countries are
probably those that have a legal system similar
to the one used in Alberta, which is derived from
the English common law legal tradition. I
recommend that clients who are planning on living
in any country outside of Canada check with a
lawyer in that country to determine whether their
Alberta wills would be considered valid.
6
Question
Do you offer services in Korean?
7
Answer
Yes. Understanding legal documents can be tricky,
even if English is your native language. It can
be even more difficult to understand legal
documents, such as wills, if English is not your
first language.
8
While the will, power of attorney, and personal
directive will be drafted in English, I can
provide a native Korean speaker, who is also a
trained legal assistant, to help with
interpreting for Korean clients who have English
as a second language. If you would like to make
use of this service, please let me know. You can
also call the phone number dedicated to Korean
clients at 403-450-7523.
