So tell me about wills.
I've never dealt with family death before so I'm a major noob here. My dear aunt passed away last week. She did up one of those generic wills and had me on as executor and all that and I understand that's good enough for alberta but she owns a house which means I have to go through probate. I have received conflicting information regarding the notarization of the will. I have been told that it's not required in Alberta but it's required for probate. When I check online it only says you need an affidavit filled by a witness. Also when I check notary services online they say they don't do wills. I'm sure I could go to a lawyer but I don't want to get raked over the coals here if I don't have to as she has a small estate with no vehicles or assets outside of the house. Anyone have some advice or expertise they may be able to share?
