Estate Planning · Wills
Wills — the document that has to actually work when it matters.
A will is read on the worst day of your family's life. It should be clear, current, and aligned with the rest of your plan — corporate shares, real estate, beneficiaries, and powers of attorney. We draft wills the way we would want our own family's wills drafted.
01 · Who This Is For
For first-time will-makers and people whose lives have changed.
If you have never signed a will, your assets have grown, your family has changed, or you own a business or property — your will probably needs writing or rewriting.
- First-time will-makers and young families
- Business owners with shares in private corporations
- Blended and multi-jurisdictional families
- Updates after marriage, divorce, or a major asset event
02 · Services
What we handle, end to end.
Primary Wills
The main will — disposing of personal and probatable assets, naming executors, guardians, and substitute decisions.
Secondary (Corporate) Wills
Separate wills covering private company shares and certain other assets to avoid estate administration tax on those holdings.
Multi-Jurisdictional Planning
Coordinated wills where assets sit in more than one province or country, designed to interact correctly.
Powers of Attorney
Property and personal-care POAs — appointing the right people, with the right scope.
Executor Guidance
Helping executors understand what they have just agreed to — including substitute and alternate appointments.
Will Reviews
Reviewing an existing will against your current family, assets, and tax position, and updating where needed.

Execution & Storage
Properly witnessed signing, originals stored, and a clear record of where everything lives.
04 · Inside The Ecosystem
A will that ignores your corporate structure is a will that fights your estate plan.
Private-company shares, joint accounts, designated beneficiaries, and inter-vivos trusts all interact with the will. We draft with the full balance sheet — and the holding-company structure — in view.
