Estate Planning for Peace of Mind

With Westcoast Wills and Estates, an estate planning lawyer will help you develop a comprehensive estate plan, which may include us preparing some of the following documents for you:

  • a Will
  • a Power of Attorney
  • a Representation Agreement
  • an Alter Ego trust
  • a Joint Partner trust
  • Beneficiary Declarations, including trusts, for RRSPs, Insurance policies, TFSAs, Pension Plans etc.
  • a Nomination of Committee
  • a Living Will or an Advance Directive

Probate & Committeeship Services

A probate lawyer from Westcoast Wills & Estates can ease the burden on executors and estate administrators.  The stresses of being an executor of a will can often be overwhelming.  Our probate lawyers can help as much or as little as needed with the probate application or otherwise.

Our committeeship lawyers can apply to court on your behalf for an appointment of committee.  This is most often needed when a person becomes incapacitated and they have not already given a power of attorney over their finances to someone else.  In this case, all bank accounts that are held only in their name are effectively frozen.  If your loved one is in this situation, someone may have to be appointed as their committee of person and estate.

Excellent Firm

Kirsten was wonderful to work with in updating our wills and agreements for a blended family. She is professional and has a great sense of humour. My husband and I found the whole process very informative and very painless. We are both so happy to have all these very important decisions made and documented. And thank you Jean-Ann for keeping us on track. Excellent firm.

Navigated Us Through the Process With Expertise & Good Humour

It is not easy to draw up wills for a blended family, especially when half our kids live in the US. Mike navigated us through the whole process with expertise and good humour. He also had the patience of Job with my husband’s enormous list of questions on a Friday evening. I particularly like that instead of taking a credit card, they donate 3% to charity.

Excellent Professionalism & Dedication to the Task

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mike and Jean-Ann, his office manager, back in February 2017 in updating some very outdated wills. Mike worked diligently under a bit of a tight schedule as we were heading out on vacation shortly. His professionalism and dedication to the task at hand was excellent. As well, he went out of his way to meet in the evening so as to fit with my husband’s work schedule. Jean-Ann’s pleasant cheerful personality and helpfulness was greatly appreciated through all the phone calls and emails required to coordinate meetings and the final documentation. Would highly recommend Westcoast Wills & Estates services.

Mike was our lawyer for my dad’s estate and he was so great we went back to do our wills. His team is friendly and helpful, communication with his office was easy and emails and questions were always answered promptly.

I have no hesitation recommending WestCoast Wills. Thanks to everyone there who made everything so smooth and painless.
