Estate Planning
Every adult should have their estate planning documents prepared in case of accident or death. Whether you are 25, 35, or 65 years old, it is necessary to consider estate planning to reduce financial and emotional hardships for your family in the future. The saying in estate planning is that you prepare for the worst, not for the best. Estate planning brings clarity and direction regarding your wishes to your family and loved ones.
Estate Administration
Certain activities will require the Will to go through a court process called 'Probate.' The court will assess the estate's assets, evaluate the beneficiaries, validate and authentic the Will. Activities such as transfer of real estate and large accounts at financial institutions will require a certified copy of the probated Will before the land can be transferred or the funds can be released.
Probate
The Executor/Personal Representatives of a Will will often have to obtain a “Grant of Probate” by the court to begin estate administration. Probate is the process of creating a package of documents along with the original will and submitting it to the Surrogate Court whereby the court will authenticate the Will.
Will
A Will is an important document that protects your wishes when you pass away. It is a legal document that will direct to whom you want to leave your assets. As the person making the Will, you have complete decision over who is to receive assets such as jewelry, family heirlooms, artwork, or bank accounts.
Power of Attorney
An Enduring Power of Attorney triggers in the event you become disabled, incapacitated, or lose consciousness. Only you have access to your personal accounts and finances. As a result, it is difficult for your loved ones to access your accounts should you be incapacitated.
Personal Directive
A Personal Directive is triggered when you become disabled, incapacitated, or lose consciousness. It allows a trusted person of your choosing to act as your agent to make medical decisions on your behalf. Medical decisions can include surgery, treatment directions, and end-of-life decisions. In other provinces and countries, a personal directive is also known as a living will, advance directive, and a durable power of attorney for healthcare.
Personal Injury
We provide legal representation to persons who are alleging physical or psychological injury as the result of the negligent or careless acts of another person, entity, or organization.
