Our wills, estates and trusts group consists of a number of lawyers and legal support staff who have specialized knowledge in these areas.  In estate planning matters we offer practical advice to effectively arrange your affairs to leave your estate to your intended beneficiaries and to minimize income tax and probate fee effects on your estate.  Wills, powers of attorney, representation agreements and family trusts are some of the tools we use.

In estate administration matters, our team handles clients and their legal matters in a friendly, efficient and discreet manner.  We give advice to clients wishing to administer estates themselves or we look after every detail for clients who so prefer.  We tailor our services to what each client needs.

Joint partner trusts, alter ego trusts, discretionary family trusts, trusts for beneficiaries with disabilities and creditor protection trusts can help meet clients’ needs for tax and probate fees savings, income splitting, protection of disabled children or grandchildren and protection from creditors or estranged spouses.

Our estate litigation team has extensive experience in wills variation claims, estate disputes and trust claims and aims to settle matters quickly and cost effectively.
