Estate Planning & Administration Services

An estate planning lawyer helps you plan for the future. For people in Alberta, this involves two key areas: drafting essential legal documents and providing guidance after a loved one passes away.

What We Do for You

Estate Planning

 

This is about creating a clear, legally sound plan for your health and assets. We help you draft three crucial documents:

  • Will: This document directs who gets your property after you're gone.

  • Enduring Power of Attorney: This allows a trusted person to manage your finances if you become incapacitated.

  • Personal Directive: This lets you appoint someone to make medical decisions for you if you're unable to.

 

Estate Administration

 

When a loved one passes, We guide the Executor through the legal process. We assist with:

  • Probate: The legal application to the court that validates the Will and authorizes the Executor to act.

  • Fulfilling Duties: We advise the Executor on their legal obligations, such as paying debts and distributing assets.

Our goal is to provide peace of mind by ensuring your wishes are honoured and your loved ones are protected.

What happens if you die without a will?

The Wills and Succession Act dictates how one's estate is distributed. Spouses (or adult interdependent partners) get preferential shares, and what remains goes to descendants or if no descendants, more distant relatives (parents, siblings, nieces/nephews, grandparents) following a prescribed order.
