Estate planning and litigation are about protecting your family, preserving your assets, and making sure your wishes are clearly outlined. This makes estate planning one of the most personal areas of law. So whether you need a will, are setting up a trust, planning charitable gifts, or thinking through business succession, having a lawyer who understands your wants and needs is essential.
In the event conflicts arise, they are often emotional and complex. Our estate litigation team can help resolve disputes involving wills, probate, powers of attorney, and trusts. Whether you are planning ahead or navigating a challenging estate matter, you will have a team that listens, understands, and puts you first.
Handling estate planning and litigation starts with compassion and trust. When legal matters are so personal, it is even more important to maintain an open line of communication and build a relationship with your lawyer. When we know your goals, we can better guide you and ensure your most personal wishes are honoured.
If you are looking to give back to your community—or one abroad—our team can help structure your charitable contributions in a way that reflects your intentions and makes the most of available tax benefits.
