Estate Litigation and Elder Law

We are one of the few firms in the Durham Region with a specific focus on estate disputes and elder law. Our services include:

• Will Challenges: We represent clients in contesting the validity of a will due to lack of capacity, undue influence, or suspicious circumstances.
• Power of Attorney Disputes: We protect the rights of vulnerable adults and intervene when powers of attorney are being misused.
• Guardianship Applications: Assisting families in appointing a guardian for property or personal care for a loved one who can no longer manage their affairs.
• Passing of Accounts: We help beneficiaries and trustees ensure that estate assets are being managed and distributed correctly.

If you need to book a consultation to discuss a potential estate dispute, please note that we do not offer free consultations, as we believe in providing high-value, detailed advice from the very first meeting.

Family Law Services

Our family law practice often intersects with our estate work, particularly in cases involving ”grey divorce” or complex financial separation. We handle:

• Separation and Divorce: We guide clients through the legal process of ending a marriage, focusing on fair property division and support.
• Custody and Access: Advocating for parenting arrangements that serve the best interests of the children.
• Marriage Contracts: We draft cohabitation agreements and marriage contracts to protect assets before conflicts arise.
