Wills, Powers of Attorney & Trusts — Done Properly
Estate planning is the only thing we do.
That focus means more precision, better drafting, and fewer gaps that can cause delays, uncertainty, or disputes later.
Wills
Custom planning for executors, guardianship, gifts, charitable giving, blended families, and more.
Powers of Attorney
Property and personal care documents designed to be usable when they’re needed — with clear authority and instructions.
Trusts
Planning for minors, vulnerable beneficiaries, tax and control considerations, and practical administration.
Our Comprehensive Wills Package
A complete estate and incapacity planning package for clients who want their documents drafted with care and clarity. This is not a template service — your documents are prepared and reviewed by a lawyer.
Includes
- Custom Ontario Will drafted for your circumstances
- Power of Attorney for Property
- Power of Attorney for Personal Care
- Health Directive / Advance Care Instructions
Built for real-world use, with the expectation that banks, executors, and institutions will rely on these documents.
Plain-Language Guidance
Drafted to Stand Up to Scrutiny
Â
Practical, Not Just Legal
We explain your options clearly and document your plan so it works when your family needs it.
Wills and estate planning documents often face real-world scrutiny from financial institutions, executors, other lawyers, and—when applicable—the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. We draft with that in mind.
Documents should be clear enough to administer and strong enough to withstand questions later.
