The professional preparation of a will is a meticulous process that ensures your wishes are clearly articulated and legally binding. It involves careful consideration of your assets, beneficiaries, and executors, guided by legal expertise to avoid future disputes and guarantee your legacy is honoured as intended.
We will discuss the best way to structure your will, including potential asset protection and tax benefits via the use of a testamentary trust if appropriate to your specific circumstances. Let us help you craft your will with precision.

Granting power of attorney, whether for financial or medical reasons is a significant decision, allowing a trusted individual to act on your behalf. It’s a proactive measure to manage your affairs with confidence if the time comes when you are no longer able to do so yourself. Ensure your interests are represented—create a power of attorney with professional guidance.

Used to accompany a valid will, a Letter of Wishes provides further clarity on why your will has been drafted the way it has. It gives people an opportunity to explain their reasoning, and helps ensure that no ambiguity exists when it matters most, like when an interested party decides to challenge a will.

Sometimes, more complicated legal issues call for a more thorough consideration of your individual circumstances, resulting in a more protracted legal process.
As a result, it is difficult to determine a fair fixed fee structure in all cases. With that in mind an hourly professional rate of $330 for matters that require this extra level of service may apply.
If applicable to your particular case, this will all be discussed during our initial consultation with you.
