Making a will or dealing with the estate of a loved one can be very difficult and we offer compassionate assistance while providing you with professional guidance during this process.
We provide a full range of services to individuals who wish to create or update their will and powers of attorney for property and personal care.
We will discuss probate fees, estate taxes, gifts to your children or favourite charity, trusts, family law issues and gifting money to those receiving disability support (Henson Trusts). Our lawyers will ensure that your wishes are properly recorded, allowing you to rest easy knowing your family will receive the full benefit of your estate.
Drawing on our combined expertise in corporate, real estate and estate law, we can assist with succession planning, marriage contracts, probate fees and estate taxes, dual wills and holding corporations to minimize probate fees on the estates of business owners.
We provide guidance to executors and trustees by helping them perform their duties, including distributing property to beneficiaries, preparing accounts, and helping to interpret wills and trust documents.
We also provide litigation services with respect to contested wills, disputes among beneficiaries and claims by spouses, children and other dependants.
