Wills and Estates Administration and Litigation
The passing of a loved one is stressful and difficult enough without factoring in
the paperwork, process and the need to deal with potential claims against an estate,
the executors and the beneficiaries.
Estate Trustees (formerly "executors" and "administrators") come to us for clear
and timely guidance and reliable assistance in navigating the process for applying
for the Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee or, as it was formerly called,
"probate." We also provide our clients with strategic advice, practical solutions
and support to help them administer their estates in a timely and economical way,
and to avoid the common pitfalls and traps that may arise.
Where there is a problem in administering the estate or some dispute as to the validity
of wills, the propriety of certain bequests, or other issues in the interpretation
of wills, codicils or trust documents, our team is ready to help bring the necessary
application to the Superior Court and to engage appropriate dispute resolution procedures
to help solve the problem quickly and economically and, importantly, to preserve
relationships.
