Whether an estate needs to be administered according to the deceased person's final will, an experienced lawyer can help to minimize taxes and fees, leaving more of the estate to the deceased's loved ones. At Chancery Chambers, our goal is to keep unnecessary costs as low as possible, and to make sure that the surviving spouse and heirs receive their share of the estate quickly and in accordance with the deceased's wishes, rather than the CRA's wishes.
When an inheritance dispute arises, our lawyers have experience in representing the interests of the estate or testator, and of a named or potential beneficiary. This includes Wills Variation Act claims by a disappointed beneficiary.
Lawyers in our firm have practised estate law and probate law in British Columbia and Alberta for more than 40 years. We know the strategies that are most effective in this complex legal area, as well as the common pitfalls often faced by individuals. Contact us for trusted counsel and peace of mind during this difficult time for you and your family.
White Rock South Surrey Estate Probate Lawyers
During the probate process, it is important to hire a lawyer with tax and estate experience — one who understands tax planning after death and tax compliance. At Chancery Chambers, we work to reduce or avoid excessive probate fees, and we provide prompt service all the way through to final tax clearances and distribution.
We believe that we may have set a record for one urgent estate, with probate and distribution completed in only nine days! The usual period is over a year. While this should not be taken as a commitment for each estate, we strive to serve each client with skill, efficiency and care.
