Estate planning for Calgary's Muslim community

Calgary's Muslim population has grown quickly over the past two decades, with mosques and Islamic centres now serving families across the city's northeast, southeast, and downtown communities. 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 Calgary 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.
