Wills and Estates Services at Lawfinity Advocates LLP

Drafting Wills

Creating a will is a fundamental aspect of estate planning, allowing you to control the distribution of your assets after your passing. Our team works closely with you to understand your personal and financial circumstances, crafting a will that reflects your specific desires and provides clear instructions on asset distribution to your beneficiaries.

Powers of Attorney

We also assist in preparing powers of attorney, crucial documents that designate an individual to manage your affairs should you become unable to do so yourself. This includes:

Property Powers of Attorney: which allow your appointed agent to handle your financial and property matters.

Personal Care Powers of Attorney: which empower your agent to make medical and personal care decisions on your behalf, ensuring your health and personal preferences are respected.

Probate and Estate Administration

Probate Applications: The probate process can be complex, involving the validation of the will and the legal acceptance of the executor. Our attorneys guide families through each step, ensuring that the probate application is prepared accurately and processed efficiently, facilitating the smooth transfer of assets according to Ontario law.

Executor Support: Executors play a crucial role in administering an estate, and this responsibility comes with significant legal duties. Lawfinity provides ongoing support to executors, ensuring they understand and fulfill their duties effectively, manage estate assets responsibly, and adhere to the terms of the will while complying with legal requirements.
