Ottawa Estate Planning Lawyers

There is a common misconception that the lawyer who prepared the will must also be the lawyer who advises the estate trustee (formerly known as “the executor”). This is not, however, always the case. The person who advises the estate trustee is chosen by the estate trustee, unless there is a specific provision of the will by which a particular lawyer is appointed. At the estate trustee, you want to make sure that you choose a lawyer with whom you are comfortable with advising you. We encourage you to contact us today in order to arrange a free half-hour consultation with one of our experienced counsel to find out how we can help you!
