What does a wills and estates lawyer do?
Wills and estates lawyers help people plan for what happens to their property and dependants, drafting wills, powers of attorney, and trusts. They also guide executors through administering an estate after a death.
Estate administration and probate are governed by each province's own rules, so the process and any estate-administration tax depend on where the person lived.
How do you choose the right firm in East Kootenay?
Ask whether the firm handles both planning and estate administration, how it charges for each, and whether it can help an executor with probate if there's a dispute.
