Estate planning for Edmonton's Muslim community

Edmonton is home to one of Canada's longest-established Muslim communities, with mosques and Islamic centres across the city serving generations of families. WillVera's Islamic will is built for Alberta residents — your document is prepared to meet the formal signing and witnessing requirements of the Wills and Succession Act, while your Mawarith shares are calculated according to Islamic principles.

Your Wasiyyah can direct a bequest — up to one-third of your net estate — to a local mosque, Islamic school, or charity serving the Edmonton community.

The problem

Without a will, Alberta law decides — not Islamic law

When a Muslim dies intestate in Alberta, the Wills and Succession Act distributes the estate — not Mawarith. Read the full breakdown: what happens if a Muslim dies without a will in Canada.

⚠️
Spouse gets a fixed portion firstAlberta gives a surviving spouse or adult interdependent partner a fixed share before the remainder is split with children — not according to Mawarith.
⚠️
Sons and daughters inherit equallyAlberta intestacy law splits a child's share equally — not the 2:1 Mawarith ratio between sons and daughters.
⚠️
Parents may receive nothingUnder Alberta law, parents only inherit if there's no surviving spouse or children — even though Islamic law gives parents a fixed 1/6 share regardless.
⚠️
No wasiyyah mechanismThere's no way to direct a bequest to your mosque or an Islamic charity without a written will.
📜

A Wasiyyah is a religious obligation

The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his last will written and kept ready with him." (Bukhari & Muslim)

WillVera makes it easy to fulfil this obligation — in under 15 minutes, for $49.

FAQ

Islamic wills in Edmonton — common questions

Yes. An Islamic will is fully valid in Edmonton and across Alberta as long as it meets the formal requirements of Alberta's Wills and Succession Act — signed by you in the presence of two adult witnesses who are not beneficiaries.
Alberta's intestate succession rules apply instead of Mawarith — a surviving spouse or adult interdependent partner receives a fixed portion first, children inherit equal shares regardless of gender, and parents or siblings often inherit nothing if a spouse or children survive.
Legally, there is no difference — both fall under Alberta's Wills and Succession Act. WillVera's Islamic will is prepared the same way for residents anywhere in Alberta, including Edmonton and Calgary.
A WillVera Islamic will starts at $49 CAD as a one-time payment, including Mawarith Schedule A, wasiyyah bequests, Islamic burial instructions, and PDF and Word download.
