Questions
Why is having a will important?
A will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes rather than provincial intestacy laws. It allows you to appoint executors and make specific provisions for dependents.
What happens if I don't have a power of attorney?
Without a power of attorney, family members must apply to court for financial decision-making authority, which can be time-consuming and costly during an already difficult period.
How does probate work in Alberta?
Probate validates a will and confirms the executor's authority. Alberta has tiered court fees based on estate value, with relatively low costs compared to other provinces.
What services do you offer for real estate transactions?
We handle purchase/sale agreements, mortgage refinancing, title transfers, and document preparation while protecting your legal interests throughout the conveyancing process.
How do you handle complex estate planning situations?
We specialize in complex cases involving blended families, dependents with disabilities, and cross-border property ownership, ensuring comprehensive planning that addresses potential challenges.
What are your office hours and location?
Our Marda Loop office offers convenient accessibility with free parking. We provide flexible scheduling including evening appointments to accommodate client needs.
