Areas of Practice


Will Challenges & Enforcement

 

A Last Will and Testament can take many forms. From a detailed document prepared by a lawyer to a handwritten note on a napkin. The existence of the document does not guarantee its validity or enforceability. The circumstances of it’s preparation and signing, of the deceased’s family and legal obligations and ultimately the Court’s interpretation will impact the validity and enforceability of the Will.


Power of Attorney Disputes & Guardianship Applications

 

Making decisions for an incapable adult puts everyone in a vulnerable position. One wrong, or even unfavourable, decision by an Attorney for Property or Guardian can result in a legal dispute. Challenging the decision or role of an Attorney for Property or Guardian often requires Court intervention.


Passing of Accounts

 

Trustees, Attorneys for Property and Guardians are obligated to maintain detailed accounts for all spending done on behalf of the Estate, Trust and incapable person. A Court audit of the spending can be trigged by the beneficiaries resulting in the need for a Passing of Accounts.


“Equity enforces promises that the law does not.”

– Chief Justice McLachlin
