The Ontario execution gap
A Will that isn’t properly signed is just a document
Ontario requires your signature in front of two witnesses at the same time — and probate courts expect a sworn Affidavit of Execution. Here’s how the options compare.
| Typical DIY Online Wills | Traditional Estate Lawyer | islamicwillnow.comBest of both | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $30–$150 | $1,200–$2,500 | From $100 CAD · couples from $160 |
| Time to a draft | Same day | ~4 weeks | Instant draft |
| Sharia-compliant Faraid | Rarely — generic templates | Depends on the lawyer | Built in, all 4 Sunni madhhabs |

Tier 3 · Lawyer Review
A licensed Ontario lawyer, for a fraction of a law-firm fee
