Legal Documents

The Will is the document that sets out your wishes as to who will administer your estate, who receives the assets of your estate, and where relevant, who will be the guardians of your minor children.

 

The Power of Attorney is the document that appoints someone to handle your financial or legal affairs should you be unable to handle them yourself, whether you are out of the country, in the hospital or cognitively unable to handle your affairs.

 

The Representation Agreement allows you to appoint someone to make medical decisions, including end of life care decisions or wishes, should you not be able to make medical decisions on your own.

​

Probate or Estate Administration

The loss of a loved one can be very difficult but in the middle of your grieving you are faced with the task of having to administer their estate. We are here to assist you to lighten your load and allow you the necessary time to grieve. We will guide you through the estate administration process and assist with the application for probate (where necessary) or advise you on the steps necessary to finalize the loved one’s estate.
