About me

Will Assist Services provides professional estate planning and estate administration support to Ontario lawyers and their clients. Founded by Gillian Jackson, an experienced Ontario Wills & Estates Law Clerk, Will Assist was created to provide flexible, knowledgeable and reliable support throughout the estate planning and administration process. 

Meet Gillian

I’m Gillian Jackson, an experienced Wills & Estates Law Clerk with a background in estate planning, estate administration, estate accounting, and legal drafting.

Throughout my legal career, I have worked closely with Ontario lawyers, executors and families navigating the often-complex administrative process that follows a death. I understand that estate files require more than simply preparing documents—they require organization, attention to detail, communication and consistent follow-through.

I created Will Assist Services to provide Ontario lawyers with flexible freelance estate-clerk support while also helping individuals and families find the appropriate legal professionals for their estate planning and administration needs. 

Why Will Assist?

Estate matters can be complicated, time-consuming and emotionally difficult. Lawyers need reliable support to keep files moving, while clients need access to professionals who can guide them through the legal process.

Will Assist bridges that gap.

We provide experienced administrative and drafting support to Ontario lawyers while helping individuals and families connect with appropriate estate-planning and estate-administration professionals.

Estate Work is Personal

Every estate represents someone's family, relationships, wishes and years of work. We believe estate services should be handled with professionalism, discretion and compassion.

Whether supporting a lawyer behind the scenes or helping a family find the right legal professional, Will Assist approaches every matter with care and attention to detail.
