We Bring Probate and Estate Administration Help to You
File Probate Application
Before you file the application, you must notify the beneficiaries, family, and other interested parties of your intention to seek the grant of probate 21 days before the application. You will also need a valid will, tax clearance certificates, a death certificate, and other legal documents. At One80 Law, we will help ensure you have everything you need to file a probate application successfully. Note that we work remotely, so no more time-consuming in-person meetings.
Legal Assistance for Executors
After getting the grant of probate from the court, you (the executor) will assume the fiduciary duty of administering the estate in line with the deceased person’s will. This phase of probate involves key responsibilities, such as transferring estate assets, filing income tax returns, and more. We will guide every step of this process to ensure no beneficiary or family member is treated unfairly.
Estate Administration Support
Suppose your loved one passed away and didn’t leave a valid will. In that case, the court can issue a grant of administration. That means the deceased person's assets will be managed and distributed under intestacy rules. Our experienced lawyers can help you identify all potential heirs and complete this legal process without violating any law.
Final Accounting Assistance
Transparency is key when dealing with the deceased’s estate. At One80 Law, we will help you gather the deceased’s assets and determine their market value. Next, our experienced lawyers will determine whether there are unpaid taxes based on Canada Revenue Agency reports and create the final, detailed account of the entire estate property, while considering expenses such as probate fees.
Do You Need Legal Counsel and Support?
The probate or estate administration can be a daunting process, especially when complex assets and foreign investments are involved. You don’t have to handle it alone. Our experienced probate and wills lawyers can handle your file remotely. That means we can connect with you by phone, email, or video conference to provide the legal counsel and support you need to fulfill your role as an estate administrator or executor, as outlined by the Supreme Court.
One80 Law provides virtual legal guidance and other services, such as remote document signing. That means you can get all the legal help you need without scheduling an in-person meeting. This saves you time and money while ensuring you can conveniently access professional legal guidance.
