Comprehensive Estate Planning for Seniors

For seniors in British Columbia, comprehensive estate planning is essential to ensure peace of mind and protect your independence and the needs of your loved ones. Vest Estate Law offers a wide range of elder law services designed to safeguard your rights and provide for your family’s future.

Crafting Legally Enforceable Wills

A legally enforceable will is crucial to maintain control over the distribution of your assets, avoid disputes among loved ones, and ensure that your final wishes are respected. Vest Estate Law can help you create a will that clearly outlines your intentions and stands up to legal scrutiny.

Establishing Power of Attorney Documents

In the event that you lose the physical or mental capacity to manage your finances, a power of attorney document allows you to appoint a trusted representative to handle your financial affairs. Vest Estate Law can assist you in creating a power of attorney, ensuring that your chosen representative can manage financial matters on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

Representation Agreements and Medical Wishes

As you age, your medical and personal needs may become a growing concern. A representation agreement enables you to outline your wishes regarding medical treatment, aged care, and end-of-life matters. Vest Estate Law can help you create a comprehensive representation agreement, nominating a trusted person to carry out your wishes if you are unable to communicate them yourself.

Establishing Estate Trusts

Estate trusts are intelligent, tax-efficient tools for transferring assets to your intended beneficiaries at the most appropriate time. Vest Estate Law can guide you through the process of setting up revocable and irrevocable trusts, helping you maintain control, minimize taxes, avoid probate, and provide flexibility for future changes.

Navigating Committeeship

If you lose the capacity to communicate your wishes and do not have a power of attorney in place, a family member may need to seek court approval to make decisions on your behalf. Vest Estate Law can assist your loved ones in navigating the committee process, ensuring that your needs are met and your wishes are respected.

Protecting Elders from Abuse

At Vest Estate Law, we are committed to protecting elders from various forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, psychological, and financial exploitation. Our experienced legal team can help you identify and address instances of elder abuse, whether perpetrated by family members or other individuals.

If you are a senior in need of legal assistance in British Columbia, Vest Estate Law is here to help. Our compassionate and knowledgeable team can guide you through the estate planning process, protect your rights, and ensure that your wishes are respected.

Wills / Estate Planning

Estate Administration (for Executors and Administrators)

Includes all aspects of finalizing an estate, dealing with the assets and debts of an estate and distribution to beneficiaries.
Many personal representatives (executors) request that estate administration lawyers administer the estate for them.

Estate Litigation (Dispute Resolution)

Estate litigation includes dispute of a will,  making a claim against the estate as a spouse of the deceased, disinheritance, or if you think there has been undue influence in the process of making a will.

Our estate litigation lawyers act for personal representatives (executors), administrators, beneficiaries, spouses and adult interdependent partners (“AIP”) of a deceased individual.
