The administration of an estate can be a stressful time for an estate trustee (or executor). Estate trustees owe fiduciary duty towards beneficiaries. Their role is becoming increasing scrutinized by the government, most notably through legislative changes to the Estate Administration Tax Act. Estate trustees now attract greater liability, potential fines and even imprisonment, by their administration of an estate. Our goal is to make the estate administration process both stress-free and cost-effective. We advise estate trustees in all aspects of estate administration (or probate). The legal services that we provide include:
- Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (or Letters Probate) with a will
