1. A document-preparation platform
Everlyst is a self-serve technology platform that helps users organize information and prepare drafts of Alberta estate-planning documents. Everlyst is not a law firm, is not acting as your lawyer, and does not provide legal, tax, financial, medical, or other professional advice.
2. No lawyer-client relationship
Using the website, creating an account, answering questions, purchasing a plan, contacting support, or generating a document does not create a lawyer-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship with Everlyst. Communications with Everlyst support are not protected by lawyer-client privilege.
3. General information only
Explanations, examples, prompts, validation messages, and help content are provided for general informational and document-preparation purposes. They are not a recommendation about what you should choose, who you should appoint, how you should distribute property, or how the law applies to your circumstances.
4. No guarantee of suitability or outcome
Everlyst does not guarantee that a document produced through the service is complete, suitable for your needs, enforceable in every circumstance, or accepted by any court, registry, financial institution, health-care provider, or other third party. A document’s effect can depend on accurate information, legal capacity, proper review, signing, witnessing, storage, later life events, and changes in law.
5. Your responsibility
You are responsible for:
- providing accurate, current, and complete information;
- reviewing every answer and generated document before using it;
- following the signing, witnessing, and storage instructions that apply;
- keeping documents current after changes in family, assets, wishes, or law; and
- deciding whether professional advice is appropriate.
6. When to obtain legal advice
Consider speaking with a qualified Alberta lawyer if you are unsure about any decision or if your circumstances involve issues such as a blended family, a dependent adult, a family dispute, questions about capacity or undue influence, trusts, a business, farm property, tax planning, substantial or unusual assets, property outside Alberta, or beneficiaries in another jurisdiction. This list is not exhaustive.
7. Alberta focus
Everlyst’s initial document experience is intended for Alberta estate-planning documents. It is not designed to address the laws of another province, territory, or country. If you live elsewhere, own property elsewhere, or expect a document to be used elsewhere, obtain advice about the relevant jurisdiction.
8. Changes in law and service content
Laws, court decisions, administrative practices, and professional guidance change over time. Everlyst may update questions, explanations, forms, and document templates, but does not promise that every change will be reflected immediately. Review your plan periodically and seek professional advice when appropriate.
9. Not an emergency service
Everlyst does not provide urgent legal assistance, health-care assistance, or emergency support. If you face an emergency, a deadline, an immediate capacity concern, abuse, coercion, or a dispute, contact the appropriate emergency service or qualified professional.
