Probate & Estate Administration
Losing a loved one is difficult, and dealing with the legal steps that follow can feel overwhelming. Probate and estate administration in British Columbia involve navigating court processes, handling assets, and ensuring the wishes of the deceased are respected. At GBC Law, we guide families and executors through these steps with clarity and compassion.
WESA Disputes & Estate Litigation
Family disagreements over wills and estates are never easy, but they are common. The Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) governs how estates are distributed in BC, and it provides options for challenging wills or addressing unfair distributions. At GBC Law, we help clients navigate these disputes with sensitivity and a focus on resolution. When can represent clients in estate ligation when conflicts arise, ensuring estates are resolved fairly.
Will, POA & Representation Agreement
Planning ahead gives peace of mind for you and your loved ones. At GBC Law, we can help you prepare a will, power of attorney (POA), and representation agreement (RA) so your wishes are respected, and important decisions are made by people your trust.
Committeeship
If an adult becomes mentally incapable and has not made an enduring power of attorney or representation agreement, the court may appoint a “committee” to make decisions on their behalf. At GBC Law, we guide families through this process with care.
Trusts
Trusts are flexible tools for managing and protecting assets during life and after death. At GBC Law, we advise clients on setting up and administering trusts tailored to their goals.
