We Offer Reliable Estate and Probate Services
Initial Document Review
Each estate in Guelph is unique, and not all estates require probate. Our lawyers begin by reviewing the deceased’s will, death certificate, financial records, property ownership documents, beneficiary list, and other relevant information. This will help us to determine whether an application for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (probate) is necessary. Enjoy timely and reliable client service.
File the Court Application
If probate is required, we’ll prepare the necessary court documents and ensure they comply with Ontario’s estate laws. From completing the Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (probate) application to preparing sworn affidavits, estate valuations, and supporting documents, our lawyers are committed to minimizing filing errors during these applications and ensuring you don’t miss deadlines.
Guide You through Estate Administration
Once the court issues the Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee, your legal responsibilities will continue. Estate trustees must protect estate assets, notify financial institutions, settle outstanding debts, file required tax returns, and distribute the estate according to the will or Ontario’s succession laws. We will provide ongoing legal guidance throughout every stage of the estate administration process.
Estate Accounting & Tax Obligations
Estate trustees must maintain accurate financial records, calculate estate administration tax, prepare estate accounts, and submit the required estate information return within Ontario’s prescribed deadline. Our lawyers help ensure all reporting obligations are completed accurately while identifying assets that may pass outside the estate where permitted by law, helping reduce unnecessary delays and administrative complications.
Navigate Complex Legal Issues
Some estates involve blended families, privately held businesses, jointly owned property, multiple beneficiaries, disputed wills, or assets located outside Ontario. These situations often complicate the probate process and require additional legal guidance. Our team of experienced probate lawyers will help resolve such estate issues and protect the interests of estate trustees and beneficiaries.
