About Monique J. Charlebois

Monique Charlebois is a sole practitioner Barrister and Solicitor based in Oakville, Ontario, with more than 20 years of experience in Ontario estates law.

Before opening the practice, Charlebois spent over 20 years as Senior Estates Counsel with the Ontario Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee. The practice is bilingual in English and French and serves clients in both Ontario and Quebec, drawing on familiarity with both the common law and civil law systems.

The Public Guardian and Trustee background brought unusual case experience, including estates involving assets such as grow-ops and oyster bed leases, along with particular skill at locating missing beneficiaries around the world. For complex files, the practice draws on a network of financial, accounting, property management, and investigative service providers, and refers out contested litigation beyond probate applications to other counsel.
