We can advise you and draft your will in accordance with our instructions to protect your family and your estate.

 

We prepare individual wills, as well as, cross wills for spouses who wish to prepare their wills at the same time.

 

After execution of your will we will file a Wills Notice on your behalf with the Division of Vital Statistics in Victoria, B.C.

We can assist and represent the executor to obtain probate of the will and to distribute the estate to the beneficiaries.

 

Where there is no will, we can advise and represent the administrator to obtain letters of administration, and to distribute the estate according to law.

The executor has the legal responsibility to administer the estate, pay off debts, and distribute the estate to beneficiaries.

 

If the executor mishandles the executor or is accused of abuse of power, we can provide legal services, including requesting the replacement or removal of the executor on behalf of the beneficiaries, litigating the executor for breach of fiduciary duty, etc.
