November is the Ontario Bar Association’s ‘Make a Will Month’. Throughout the month, we will be sharing informative posts that will help you understand more about the Estate Planning process, and why it’s important to have a Will and have it drawn up by a lawyer.
Topics we plan to cover include whether pets are considered estate assets and how to plan for them in your Will; what happens if you pass away without a Will; mutual wills; dual wills, and undue influence in the drafting process.
The Wills and Estates team at Daniel & Partners offers a full range of services, from simple wills and powers of attorney to complex estate planning, trusts and guardianship matters. We coordinate our services with expert advice from accountants, insurance agents, and financial advisors to help our clients achieve their goals while minimizing taxes.
We assist executors and relatives with all estate administration matters (sometimes referred to as probate), whether or not the deceased left a will: from the initial application for a certificate of appointment, to the final passing of accounts and distribution of estate assets to beneficiaries.
When estate disputes arise, our lawyers can help by advising the various options available and pursuing litigation if needed.
Contact our office to arrange an initial consultation as soon as possible to get our team started on your case.
