Wills and Estates Lawyer Edmonton

Comprehensive Estate Planning

Our lawyers sit down with you to build a complete estate plan. We talk through your family, your home, your savings, and any RRSPs or other estate assets, and help you put a succession plan in writing so everyone knows what should happen when the time comes.

Drafting Wills Tailored to Your Needs

We prepare a Will that is easy to understand and legally valid in Canada. We make sure your testamentary capacity is documented, your beneficiaries are clearly named, and your family home, keepsakes, and digital assets are all covered so nothing important is left out.

Creating Trusts and Extra Protection

For some families, we may suggest trust creation, such as simple Family Trusts or a trust fund for children or grandchildren. We explain how this works, the basic tax implications under Canadian law, and how a trust can help protect your estate long after you’re gone.

Structuring a Complete Estate Plan

We help you combine your Will, Power of Attorney, and personal planning documents into one clear package so your executor and estate trustees have straightforward instructions and fewer legal issues to sort out.

Personal Directives and Powers of Attorney

We help you prepare advance care directives so your medical wishes and health care options are respected. We also draft Powers of Attorney so someone you trust can handle bills, banking, and other financial matters if you can’t manage them yourself.

Support for Executors and Personal Representatives

If you have named a family member as executor or personal representative, we can guide them through their duties when the time comes. We explain the legal process in simple language, help with key forms, and provide legal assistance if questions or disputes arise.

Probate and the Transfer of Assets

Our lawyers help with the probate process so your Will is accepted by the court and your wishes can be carried out. We offer practical legal solutions for transferring property, bank accounts, and other assets, always keeping an eye on timing, costs, and tax implications with the Canada Revenue Agency in mind.
