FAQs
When should I contact a lawyer?
We understand that in certain situations, it may be difficult to gauge whether or not you require legal assistance. It can also be tempting to put off contacting a lawyer when you know you truly need one. Our best advice is to be proactive and contact us as soon as possible. Seeking legal advice early on can save you time and money in the long run.
How long will it take and how much will it cost me?
The time and cost involved depends on a variety of factors and differs on a case-by-case basis. We need to better understand your situation and the work involved before we can give you a realistic timeline and quote for our services. The best way for us to do this is by having a conversation to find out what you need and figure out how we can assist you.
What do I do if a loved one passes away without a will?
If your loved one passes away without a Will, you may need some help to figure out the next steps to deal with the estate. We are here to help you through this difficult process by advising you on what needs to be done and assisting you with the process. Please see our Law for Life page for more information on administering an estate without a Will.
How should I choose an executor?
First and foremost, your executor should be someone you trust to carry out your wishes. Your executor will not only have to deal with your estate but will have to be in contact with your beneficiaries. Consider someone who is proactive, good at getting things done, and is likely to survive you. You should let your executor know where you are keeping your original Will and ideally, you should keep up to date records of your assets and liabilities.
DO I HAVE TO BE A CANADIAN RESIDENT TO ACT AS A DIRECTOR FOR A COMPANY?
It depends on the jurisdiction (aka legal authority) under which the company is incorporated. There is no residency requirement for BC companies. For federal companies, 25% of the directors must be Canadian residents.
