Wills & Trusts
A Will is the foundation of any estate plan. We draft legally sound, customized Wills that ensure your assets are distributed according to your intentions. We also assist with:
- Trust creation and management to protect beneficiaries, reduce taxes, and avoid probate
- Will revisions and updates as your life or financial situation changes
- Execution and witnessing to meet Alberta’s legal requirements
Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA)
An EPA allows you to appoint someone you trust to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you become mentally incapable.
We help you:
- Draft and execute your EPA
- Choose a trusted attorney (decision-maker)
- Understand your rights and options
- Revoke or update your EPA if needed
Personal Directives
A Personal Directive allows you to choose an “Agent” to make non-financial decisions—such as health care and housing—on your behalf if you're unable to do so. In Alberta, no one can automatically make these decisions without legal authority.
We will:
- Help you appoint an Agent and backup
- Reflect your beliefs and values in writing
- Ensure your document meets legal standards
Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)
M.A.I.D is a deeply personal and emotional decision. Our lawyers provide sensitive, confidential advice on the legal aspects of MAID, including:
- Understanding eligibility under Canadian law
- Drafting and reviewing consent forms and documentation
- Navigating advance requests and directives
- Representing clients in legal proceedings or appeals if needed

Managing an estate comes with many responsibilities. We help executors and trustees carry out their duties and resolve legal and financial matters during a difficult time.
Our services include:
- Probate applications
- Estate accounting and distribution
- Tax filings and compliance
- Conflict resolution and legal guidance
Estate Litigation

- Executor and trustee misconduct
- Estate accounting errors and conflicts of interest
