Probate Lawyer Surrey

Probate Lawyer Surrey

At Westcoast Wills & Estates, our experienced probate lawyers in Surrey are here to ease the burden that often falls on executors (when there’s a will) and estate administrators (when there isn’t). Taking on the role of executor can feel overwhelming, especially since executors and administrators are personally liable for any errors they make during the estate administration process. Our Surrey team is committed to making probate as stress-free as possible by offering step-by-step legal guidance and support tailored to your needs.

The Supreme Court of BC offers different types of estate grants, the most common being the Grant of Probate (when a will exists) and the Grant of Administration Without Will Annexed (when there is no will). While the terminology differs, both give the applicant legal authority to manage the estate. Our estate lawyers in Surrey have years of experience successfully obtaining these grants.

When you book an appointment with a probate lawyer at our Surrey office, we begin with a comprehensive consultation meeting to review your situation and outline the necessary steps involved in estate administration. It’s important to understand that applying for probate is just one part of the broader process of estate administration. From that point forward, our Surrey probate lawyer can assist as much—or as little—as you need, whether it’s with the application itself or with managing the estate through to final distribution.

Estate Administration Lawyer Surrey

Even if a probate application isn’t required, many responsibilities still fall on the executor or administrator. Our probate lawyers in Surrey can help with tasks such as contacting financial institutions, communicating with beneficiaries, or preparing releases for beneficiaries to approve the executor’s accounting. We aim to ensure nothing is overlooked and that your duties are fulfilled accurately and efficiently.
