Wills are a vital component of your personal and business assets, demanding careful planning and deliberation. Our team is prepared to assist and advise you in the formulation of your Will, determining the responsible party for your Estate (Executor) and the receivers of your assets (Beneficiaries), particularly considering circumstances like blended families, children with disabilities, and life changes.

It’s vital to create a Will to ensure all your loved ones are provided for and that your assets are distributed according to your desires after your death.

While making a Will can be intimidating, our team can guide you through every step to reduce the risk of someone challenging your Will. A Will is normally challenged if a family member was left out of the Will or were not left enough. Other types of claims can also arise from lack of capacity, undue influence, and breach of trust.

Medical Treatment Decision

Every person possesses the right to make decisions about their own medical treatment. However, if you become incapable of making decisions, either on a temporary or permanent basis, you can opt to assign a representative who can make medical decisions on your behalf. The act of designating someone for this responsibility can be quite strenuous, but our team is here to help and guide you in deciding who and when you should nominate a trusted person to take on your medical decisions.

Advanced Care Directive

This document is legally binding and authorizes you to make definite preparations for your future health, care, and end of life circumstances. It documents your decisions and aspirations regarding medical treatment and details what medical treatment you do and don’t want in emergencies. When completing an Advance Care Directive document, it is important to consult with your doctor.
