What is Estate Administration?
When a person passes away in Vancouver, their estate needs to be managed and distributed according to their will or, in the absence of a will, according to British Columbia’s intestacy laws. Estate administration involves gathering the deceased’s assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. At Vest Estate Lawyers in Vancouver, we provide comprehensive estate administration services to help families navigate this complex process.
Importance of Having a Will
Having a valid will is crucial to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away. If you die without a will (intestate), British Columbia’s intestacy laws will determine how your estate is divided, which may not align with your intentions. By creating a will with the help of our experienced estate lawyers at Vest Estate Lawyers, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of according to your desires.
Grant of Administration in British Columbia
When a person dies without a will or the executor named in the will is unable or unwilling to act, a grant of administration must be obtained from the Supreme Court of British Columbia. This legal document appoints an administrator to manage the deceased’s estate. At Vest Estate Lawyers, our knowledgeable team can assist you in applying for a grant of administration, ensuring that the process is handled efficiently and accurately.
