Wills Hospital Visits Calgary
Will & Estate Planning Support When You Need It Most
When a loved one is in the hospital, important legal decisions can suddenly become urgent. Perhaps you have realized they don’t have a will, an enduring power of attorney, or a personal directive in place. Maybe these documents exist, but no longer reflect their wishes. At a time when your focus is already on your loved one’s health, you may need to know what can still be done and take the right legal steps quickly.
If travelling to a lawyer’s office is not possible, an experienced lawyer from One80 Law can meet with you or your loved one in a hospital or care facility. We can discuss the situation in person, review your existing estate planning documents, and provide legal advice tailored to your circumstances and current wishes. Though hospital social workers can help with community legal resources, they can’t draft or review your will and other legal documents.
In addition to hospital visits, we can help clients in care homes and assisted living facilities when illness, mobility challenges, or any other particular reason makes travelling to a law office difficult. During an in-person visit, our lawyer can review your last will, personal directive, and other legal documents with you and discuss whether any changes may be appropriate.

Reliable Legal Services for Hospitalized Clients
01. Will Preparation & Review
Calgary's Foothills Medical Center and other medical facilities don't provide in-house services for wills and estate planning documents. At One80 Law, we first confirm that the patient understands the nature of legal documents before we review or create their wills. An outdated will or no will at all can lead to many unwanted results. We can undertake hospital visits to ensure your will reflects your true intentions.
02. Powers of Attorney & Personal Directives
Unfortunately, far too many people realize that their wills and other estate planning documents are out of date, have the wrong people authorized to legally perform important functions, or raise other serious concerns. If you lose mental capacity without a power of attorney, your financial access will be restricted, and you may face guardianship proceedings. During a hospital visit, our lawyers will perform a legal capacity confirmation and get your concerns addressed promptly.
03. Trusts and Family Trusts
Trusts can help address specific family, financial, and long-term planning goals. Depending on your circumstances, they may support asset protection, provide for beneficiaries (or specific family members), or create a structured plan to ensure one's estate is properly distributed. We provide hospital visits, office visits, or in-care home visits to handle your trusts. Let us handle your trust matters while you focus on your personal health.
04. Estate Planning Documents in Legal Order
It’s crucial to ensure all estate planning documents are in full legal order, from your will and testament to powers of attorney for your assets and personal directive for your health matters. Our experienced lawyers will review your existing documents when we visit you at the Airdrie Community Health Center or any other medical care facility to create up-to-date documents that reflect your current intentions.
05. Get Legal Support
Creating or editing a will when hospitalized or under perceived infirmity, especially when your assets are intentionally inequitable, requires an experienced lawyer. At One80 Law, we ensure the process is rigorously conducted in accordance with strict legal precedent. One aspect of our in-person hospital visits is that we eliminate unnecessary distractions, and the entire process is less time-consuming.
When you or a loved one cannot travel to a law firm's office, One80 Law can provide in-person legal support at a hospital or care facility in Calgary. We can discuss wills, enduring powers of attorney, personal directives, trusts, and other estate planning concerns so you can have peace of mind.
