Arkin Furrow Estate Law LLP – Toronto, ON

Exclusive Focus on Estate and Trust Litigation

Arkin Furrow Estate Law LLP is a specialized litigation boutique located in downtown Toronto at 65 Queen Street West. Founded by Benjamin Arkin and Matthew Furrow, the firm dedicates its practice exclusively to resolving disputes involving Wills, Estates, Trusts, and Guardianships. Unlike generalist firms that dabble in estate law, Arkin Furrow’s entire focus is on the complex and often emotional litigation that arises when families disagree over the administration of an estate or the care of a loved one.

Expert Advocacy in Will Challenges

The firm represents beneficiaries, executors, trustees, and attorneys for property in high-stakes legal battles. Their deep understanding of the Succession Law Reform Act allows them to craft effective strategies for:

• Will Challenges: Contesting the validity of a will based on lack of capacity, undue influence, or suspicious circumstances.
• Passing of Accounts: Compelling executors to account for their management of estate assets and challenging improper expenses.
• Guardianship Applications: Helping families obtain legal authority to make decisions for a capable adult who can no longer care for themselves.
• Power of Attorney Disputes: Litigating cases where an attorney has misused funds or failed in their fiduciary duties.

Strategic and Principled Solutions

Litigation is not always about aggressive fighting; it’s about finding the right solution. Arkin Furrow is known for a “practical and principled” approach. They are seasoned trial lawyers who are always prepared to go to court, but they also recognize the value of mediation and negotiated settlements to preserve family assets and relationships where possible. Their ability to handle the intersection of Family Law and Estate Law gives them a unique edge in cases involving spousal elections and support claims against estates.

Situated in the Thomson Building, directly across from City Hall, the firm is at the centre of Toronto’s legal district. If you are looking to find an estate litigation lawyer to protect your inheritance or defend an estate, Arkin Furrow offers the focused expertise required for success.
