Our Services
FAST PROBATE
Our team has extensive experience in handling probate for both Estates with a Last Will and Testament and Intestacies, where the deceased has not left behind any will. Our primary focus is to speedily secure probate so that the executor can concentrate on dealing with the Estate's affairs, including disbursing funds to beneficiaries. We have a proven track record of effectively managing real estate properties within an estate and representing executors in their sale. We provide comprehensive guidance to our clients throughout the probate process, which includes determining the probate fee, acquiring bonds for estates, and managing Estate Information Returns once the probate certificate is obtained. Our commitment to professionalism ensures that our clients receive the best possible service.
We pride ourselves on our fast and efficient probate services. We ensure that all necessary materials are submitted as quickly as possible, and if any corrections are needed, we strive to make the necessary changes within two days for resubmission. Our team is highly skilled in communicating with the Office of Public Guardian and Trustee, as well as the Office of Children's Lawyer for Estate cases. Unlike other probate processes that can take months or even years to complete, we work diligently to expedite the procedure and ease the burden on the executor. Our experienced team handles all communication with the court and ensures that all necessary documents are filed correctly to minimize the chances of rejection by the probate court. In certain circumstances, we are even prepared to argue for probate in court in person.
DRAFTING WILLS
Creating a Last Will and Testament and a Power of Attorney for Property and Person Care (commonly known as Living Wills) can be a beneficial step in saving your family members a significant amount of time, energy, and expenses after your demise. Our team specializes in drafting these legal documents for our clients, and we provide them with the option of either taking the final copies with them or keeping them in our fire-resistant and waterproof safe located in our Toronto office. We maintain a professional approach while catering to our clients' needs.
CHALLENGING A WILL
Our team possesses extensive expertise in handling various estate litigation matters, particularly in disputing Will objections. Estate litigation is a highly specialized field of law, and retaining the services of a specialized attorney can prove to be extremely advantageous for clients. We specialize in defending and challenging Wills against objections, as well as assisting dependents of the deceased in filing support claims.
