Wills, Estates & TrustsWills, Estates & TrustsAbout Amanda M. Estabrooks
Amanda M. Estabrooks is an Ottawa litigator whose work centres on estates, with will challenges at the heart of it. Amanda is an associate at Gowling WLG's Ottawa office and handles estate administration as well as estate litigation.
Ottawa is home ground. Amanda was born and raised in the city, earned a civil law LL.L. and a J.D. at the University of Ottawa, and was called to the Ontario bar in 2012. Practical experience came early, at a community legal clinic in Gatineau during the civil law degree. After articling at Barnes, Sammon in Ottawa, Amanda stayed on there as a lawyer, doing civil litigation weighted toward insurance and personal injury files. Before joining Gowling WLG, Amanda's litigation work in Ottawa took in jury and non-jury trials as well as appeals.
That courtroom record reaches every level, from the Superior Court of Justice and Divisional Court up to the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. Amanda is fluently bilingual, so clients can work through their matter in French or English. It's a practice that also extends into the classroom: Amanda teaches part-time at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law in its civil law section. Outside work, Amanda's interests have included football, camping and snowboarding.
Practice areas
Will challenges, trustee disputes and guardianship
Amanda brings and defends will challenges, including those turning on mental capacity, undue influence or how a will should be read. The work also takes in applications to remove or replace an estate trustee, along with guardianship applications.
Passings of accounts and compensation
Amanda acts both in defending and in challenging the accounts passed by executors, trustees, guardians and attorneys acting under powers of attorney, and in disputes over the compensation an estate trustee or attorney claims.
Beneficiary concerns and powers of attorney
Beneficiaries unhappy with how an estate is being run, including how money or other assets are handed out, can get advice from Amanda. So can relatives and others worried that a power of attorney for property or personal care is being misused.
