Buying or Selling a Home or Property
Making any property transaction requires careful legal guidance. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, selling the family home, refinancing your mortgage, transferring property to family, or developing vacant land, we handle all the legal complexities. Our real estate team manages more transactions than almost any other firm in Halifax Regional Municipality, including specialized services like Land Registration Act conversions.
Estate Planning
A properly prepared estate plan gives you control over your legacy and provides peace of mind for your family. Beyond just drafting wills, we help with powers of attorney, personal directives for medical decisions, trusts for tax planning, guardianship applications, and nursing home planning. We’ll help you create a complete plan that protects your assets, minimizes taxes, and ensures your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend.
Estate Administration
Losing someone close to you is never easy. Being named executor adds significant legal responsibilities during an already difficult time. Whether the estate has a will or not (intestacy), our compassionate team guides you through the probate process, dealing with the court, managing assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing inheritances to beneficiaries. We ensure you fulfill your duties properly while avoiding personal liability.
