Estate Planning & Administration
Overview
Our estate planning services include techniques to achieve our clients’ objectives and minimize taxes, through the preparation of wills, powers of attorney for property and personal care, trusts and charitable giving. As well, we coordinate with US professional advisors when completing cross-border planning for US citizens and residents, and clients purchasing vacation properties in the US.
Our deep understanding of the estates landscape ideally positions us to guide executors and trustees who are administering estates or trusts to ensure they fulfill their duties and obligations properly and efficiently. We also advise estate trustees during litigation, attorneys for property and personal care and guardians with respect to their duties and responsibilities. We assist with the transfer, disposition and/or distribution of assets and all matters ancillary thereto. We also advise beneficiaries and/or family members of their rights and entitlements in estate, trust, power of attorney, and guardianship matters.
