Cost of preparing a will

Holograph will or will made in the presence of witnesses

It costs nothing to prepare a holograph will or a will made in the presence of witnesses if you do it yourself.

If you want someone else to prepare your will for you (e.g. a lawyer), you must ask him or her how much it will cost.

The cost of a notarial will differs from one notary to the next and may vary depending on the complexity of your situation.

The costs usually cover:

preparation of your will;
signature of your will;
storage of the original document;
provision of a copy for your own files;
registration in the registres des dispositions testamentaires et des mandats du Québec.
