About GW Law Corporation

GW Law Corporation, formally Geoffrey W. White Law Corporation, is a Kelowna firm that practices exclusively in estate, trust and charity law. It operates in association with Clark Wilson LLP, one of British Columbia's larger firms, so its two lawyers also see clients out of Clark Wilson's downtown Vancouver office while keeping a home base at 434 Glenwood Avenue in Kelowna. The firm describes itself as one of the few BC law offices that focuses solely on this area, covering estate and incapacity planning, estate and trust administration, estate and trust litigation, charity law and fiduciary services.

Founder Geoffrey W. White, K.C., TEP, has over 30 years' experience in estate and trust matters, dating to a call to the bar in British Columbia in 1994, and co-edited chapters of the CLE Probate and Estate Administration Practice Manual, a reference used across the province. Braeden J. Rahn, TEP, joined the firm after more than a decade working as a designated paralegal, later completing a Juris Doctor at the University of Victoria and being called to the bar in 2025. The firm has also offered professional executor and trustee services to clients for about ten years, and it says it was the first firm in British Columbia to successfully argue that a multiple will strategy for probate fee savings is valid under the Wills, Estates and Succession Act.
