We provide comprehensive estate administration services to guide executors, administrators, beneficiaries and families through the complexities following a loved one's passing. Whether or not a Will exists, we offer tailored advice on the necessary legal steps to ensure proper estate management. In cases where there is a Will, we assist with the probate process, including preparing court documents and obtaining the Grant of Probate. If no Will exists, we can assist with the appointment of an administrator through the courts and advise them regarding the distribution under The Intestate Succession Act.

We assist with complex, unusual or intricate estates. We provide advice regarding the set up and administration of various trusts arising from estates including spousal trusts, family trusts, and Henson trusts. We also recognize the challenges posed by cross-border estates and are equipped to handle multijurisdictional matters, including resealing foreign grants of probate in Manitoba. In situations where a will does not meet court requirements—often the case with DIY wills or will kits—we provide guidance to executors and administrators, helping them navigate these challenges to fulfill the deceased's intentions as closely as possible. Throughout the process, we collaborate with other professionals, such as accountants and financial advisors, to ensure a thorough and efficient administration.
