TORONTO, July 30, 2026 /CNW/ -- Medavie Blue Cross is announcing the introduction of LegalWills, an online platform that helps members create essential estate planning documents, including a will, power of attorney, and health care directive.
This program is now available to eligible plan members through Connected Care – Medavie's digital health services platform. LegalWills gives members a practical way to document their wishes and organize important decisions. The service is designed to help ensure assets are distributed as intended while reducing stress and uncertainty for loved ones.
"Planning ahead is one of the most important steps people can take to support their families," says Silvia Chullen, Manager, Digital Product Solutions & Partnerships. "This service gives our members a clear and accessible way to put those plans in place."
LegalWills offers estate planning documents for a wide range of family situations, using province-specific templates developed and reviewed by legal professionals to reflect local legal requirements. Members can complete their plans online at their own pace, with access to support and educational resources throughout the process.
Through LegalWills, members can:
- Appoint an executor to carry out their wishes
- Decide who will inherit their assets
- Name guardians for minor children
- Assign someone they trust to manage their finances if needed
- Document their health care preferences in advance
The package also includes ten years of unlimited updates, allowing members to revise details such as guardians, executors, and asset distribution as their circumstances change. Members also have access to additional tools, including a probate calculator, FAQs, live chat support, and an education centre. Optional services, such as document storage and asset records, are available for an added fee.
Medavie Blue Cross members benefit from preferred pricing on the Premium Package and free updates for 10 years.
Depending on plan design, costs may be eligible for reimbursement through a Personal Wellness Account under the Personal Development category.
