Calgary Wills and Estates Lawyer

WILLS AND ESTATES PLANNING AND SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY AGE AND STAGE OF LIFE

AS LIFE EVOLVES, SO SHOULD YOUR WILL

Providing clear direction for the care of your loved ones and your assets is fundamental. Should the unexpected happen and you pass away without a Will in place, the Wills and Succession Act dictates who will receive your estate and when. The reality is that this may be very different from what you would have chosen yourself. The absence of a Will or proper Estate Planning can cause unnecessary legal costs and concerns for your family at an already difficult time. Our experienced and compassionate team at Robertson LLP is here to help plan at any stage of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, lawyers are not required to make a will. It’s recommended because Wills & Estates lawyers ensure your will is executed correctly and legally valid.

You should review it every few years or whenever there’s a major life change, especially after life events such as a new marriage, separation, or the birth of a child.

A will takes effect after you pass away, while a power of attorney authorizes someone you trust to make financial and legal decisions for you if you’re unable to do so while you are still living.

Alberta’s laws determine how the estate is divided. This may not reflect the person’s wishes, which is why having a will is so important.

You can apply for probate yourself, though hiring a lawyer is strongly recommended. The process can be very detailed, complex and frustrating – often resulting in delays. Our lawyers handle the paperwork to ensure everything is filed properly making the process more efficient and timelier

An estate plan includes your will, enduring power of attorney, and personal directive. These documents ensure your financial and personal wishes are followed in life and after death. Our Alberta estate planning lawyers help prepare each one correctly.

An executor manages the estate after someone passes away. They gather assets, pay debts, and distribute remaining property to beneficiaries. Robertson LLP can provide executor support and probate guidance throughout this process.
