Protect What Your Loved One Left Behind
When a will is contested, an executor isn't fulfilling their duties, or you've been unfairly treated in the estate of a parent or spouse, you need a lawyer who will fight for what's right. Our experienced estate litigation team helps clients resolve disputes and hold executors accountable — whether through negotiation or, when necessary, at trial.
How We Can Help
When You've Been Treated Unfairly
If you've been left out of a will, received less than you're entitled to, or believe a will doesn't reflect your loved one's true wishes, you may have a claim. In British Columbia, the Wills, Estates and Succession Act allows spouses and children to apply to the court to vary a will that doesn't adequately provide for them. We can help you understand your rights and pursue what you deserve.
When You're an Executor Facing a Dispute
Being named executor is a significant responsibility — and it can become overwhelming when beneficiaries disagree or challenge the estate. If you're facing a dispute as executor, we provide clear guidance on your legal duties and represent you in defending the estate plan. If another executor isn't acting properly, we can help you hold them to account.
