Protect Your Legacy and Ensure Your Wishes are Honoured

At McKenzie Legal Services, we understand that navigating legal matters during challenging times can be overwhelming. Our dedicated team of paralegals specializes in providing non-lawyer legal support services, ensuring that you receive compassionate, efficient assistance when you need it most.

Last Will and Testament 

A Will gives you the power to decide how your estate will be distributed, who will represent your estate, and who will be the guardian of your minor children. With a Will in place, you can:

  • Ensure your assets go to the people you choose.
  • Reduce the burden of paperwork for your family.
  • Prevent family disputes by making your intentions clear.
  • Allow your beneficiaries to access your estate in a timely manner.

Without a Will, your estate will be divided according to Alberta’s laws, which may not align with your wishes. Make thoughtful decisions now to protect your loved ones later.

If you are looking for someone that is well experienced, professional and authentic then look no further. Ryan has proven to help so many people in the most challenging times of their lives including my brother get through a divorce. I will continue to refer family and friends to Ryan as I know she will walk along their side with her knowledge.

Ryan at McKenzie legal was extremely helpful in drafting and getting all my documents together for my family law matters. McKenzie offers document prep, guidance/coaching services and even mediation services. Great at guiding me through the legal process and as a self represented person. It’s a great alternative to trying to book an expensive lawyer when you want to do lots of the work yourself to save money.

Recently I was wanting to vary my parenting order and my respondent was being very difficult. I had a zoom meeting with Ryan and her input changed everything. Based on her information, I added an additional exhibit in my Affidavit and that exhibit was the most helpful piece of information in my entire filing. She definitely knows what she’s doing and the cost was also very reasonable. I am so thankful I reached out to Ryan when I did.
