Miltons Estates Law

About Miltons Estates Law

Miltons Estates Law is a wills and estates practice based in Ottawa, with a second mailing address in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood on Queen Street East. The firm limits its work to the period after someone dies: probate applications, estate administration for executors, income tax filing and CRA clearance certificates for estates, and estate dispute resolution. It doesn't draft wills or handle estate planning; a related site, Ontario-Wills.ca, offers general information on those topics but states it does not draft wills or do estate planning itself.

The team includes lawyers Neil Milton, Hala Tabl (who practices through Hala Tabl Professional Corporation), and Angie Wynn, along with law clerks Ashley Akers and Erica Kapa. Consultations happen by phone, email, or video rather than in person, and the firm says it doesn't charge for travel when a meeting is needed elsewhere in Ontario. Full service probate and estate administration work is billed on a fixed, posted fee schedule rather than by the hour, and the firm also offers a do-it-yourself probate option for people who want to file their own application with guidance. For estate disputes, contingency fees are available for cases the firm considers appropriate.
