Probate & Estate Administration
Professional guidance through estate administration, from court applications to final distributions, ensuring compliance and efficiency.
Detailed Services
Probate is the legal process through which the Supreme Court of British Columbia confirms the validity of a will and formally appoints the executor named in that will. Once the Grant of Probate is issued, the executor has the authority to act on behalf of the estate — to manage assets, pay debts, and distribute the estate according to the deceased's wishes.
Our team provides complete probate services, including:
- Reviewing wills and advising executors on their duties and liabilities
- Preparing and filing probate applications with the Supreme Court of British Columbia
- Coordinating with the Court Registry, financial institutions, and the Land Title Office
- Managing the transfer or sale of estate assets, including real property, investments, and private company shares
- Assisting with estate accounting, releases, and final distributions
- Advising on tax compliance and executor compensation
We ensure executors can confidently carry out their responsibilities and that all legal and procedural requirements are properly met.
