About Raphael Leitz
Raphael Leitz is a solo law practice in Toronto operating as a barrister, solicitor, and notary public. The practice focuses on wills, estates, and trusts, along with real estate law, covering estate planning, estate administration, and property purchases, sales, and refinancing. Consultations are by appointment, and services are available in English and Portuguese.
Before opening the practice, Leitz worked at a Toronto estate and trust litigation firm, handling disputes that ranged from will challenges to trust variations. Leitz also spent significant time at a large national bank, managing complex trusts and gaining direct experience with the administrative and fiduciary side of estate work. That combination, contested litigation experience on one side and institutional trust administration on the other, shapes how the practice approaches estate planning and administration today.
Practice areas
In the community
- The firm blog publishes legal commentary, including a post on the Ontario case Haddock v. Haddock that looks at how a sharp rise in a cottage's value can throw off an estate plan built around equal shares, and what that means for choosing a beneficiary who can afford to keep or buy out the property.
Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office address is 3250 Bloor Street West, on the southern edge of what's mapped as Islington-City Centre West, one of four business districts in Toronto outside of downtown. The area built up around the Islington subway station, which opened on the Bloor-Danforth line in 1968 and set off a boom in high-density office development nearby. A by-appointment practice reachable by subway fits comfortably into that setting.
