Streamlining the Process to Give You Peace of MindProbate & Estate Administration
What Is Probate & Estate Administration?
If a loved one passes away without a will, the estate may go through a process called intestacy, where the court determines how the assets should be distributed based on Ontario law. We help guide you through these legal hurdles, ensuring that the estate is properly managed and disputes are minimized.
What to Expect When Working With Us
We begin with a thorough consultation to review the estate’s assets, debts, and legal obligations. We provide clear explanations of the probate process and the duties of an executor, ensuring that you understand your role and what’s required of you.
Throughout the administration process, we:
- File Probate Documents: Submit necessary legal documents to the court to validate the will and begin the administration process.
- Inventory and Valuation: Assist in creating an inventory of the estate’s assets and determining their value.
- Settling Debts and Taxes: Ensure all debts, including taxes, are paid before the distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
- Asset Distribution: Manage the distribution of assets according to the will or, in cases of intestacy, according to Ontario law.
- Dispute Resolution: Address and resolve any disputes between beneficiaries or creditors, offering mediation services if needed.
We work closely with you to make sure every step is completed correctly, minimizing delays and avoiding costly mistakes.
