Estate Needs?  We Can Help.

  • Wills  - One of the fundamental components of estate planning is drafting a comprehensive Will. A Will allows you to outline how you want your assets to be distributed among your beneficiaries. It also provides an opportunity to appoint an executor who will be responsible for administering your estate according to your wishes.
  • Powers of Attorney - In addition to a will, it is essential to establish powers of attorney. A power of attorney allows you to designate someone to make legal, financial, and healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. By appointing trusted individuals as your attorneys, you can feel confident that your affairs are managed according to your preferences and instructions.
  • Trusts - Trusts can be valuable tools in estate planning, providing flexibility and control over the distribution of assets. Various types of trusts are available in Canada, such as testamentary trusts and inter vivos trusts. These trusts can help minimize taxes, protect assets, and ensure a smooth transfer of wealth to future generations.
  • Estate Administration - As part of our services, we can assist with estate administration, which involves managing the distribution of assets and settling debts after a person’s passing. This process can be complex and time-consuming, but with our expertise, we can guide your executor through every step in the process of opening and finalizing your estate in compliance with Ontario law.
  • Tax Planning - Effective estate planning also involves considering tax implications. By understanding the tax laws and regulations in Canada, we assist you and your accountants in developing strategies to minimize taxes on your estate. This may include utilizing tax-efficient structures, taking advantage of available exemptions and deductions, and exploring charitable giving options.
  • Business Succession Planning - For individuals who own businesses, proper succession planning is imperative to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and management. We can assist you in developing a comprehensive business succession plan that addresses your unique circumstances, protect your business assets, and facilitates the transfer of ownership to the next generation or a chosen successor.
  • Overview - Estate planning is an essential aspect of securing your property and ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of according to your wishes as much as possible. As a Canadian lawyer with expertise in estate planning, I can provide you with the necessary legal guidance and support to create a comprehensive estate plan that aligns with your goals and objectives.
