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.

Client Reviews

Our Clients Love Us

Don’t just take our word for it; here’s a sample of what clients are saying about us.

  • “Sadly I have lost three family members over the last 4 years, and have had to take on executor duties. West Coast Wills helped me, first during the COVID lockdown phase when everything was extra difficult, and more recently with both unexpected and expected deaths of my parents. Their advice about asset management and planning actually saved tens of thousands of dollars for my father’s estate which I very much appreciate. My wife and I also did our wills with them which has given us peace of mind.”

  • “We hired West Coast Wills & Estates after a less than satisfactory experience with another law firm. We have been very pleased the the professionalism, responsiveness, and good customer service. As an attorney myself, I would not hesitate to recommend the firm to anyone seeking professional advice on trusts and estates issues.”

  • “My wife died in late January and I turned to West Coast Wills & Estates to assist me with probating her will. Aron Chitsaz was the lawyer that I dealt with. He was very understanding, competent and patient with me throughout this emotional and , sometimes, frustrating procedure. I received prompt and excellent service both in answering my inquiries and in completing the necessary documentation for the probate. I was impressed that from the time that the probate documents were filed to the time a settlement request was received was only about six weeks. This illustrates that Aron was thorough in the preparation of the necessary documents for probate. I was also pleased that Westcoast Wills charged me a fixed cost for completing the probate rather than having an open ended arrangement. I was very pleased with the service that I got from Westcoast Wills and Aron Chitsaz. I will use them again to complete my own will.”

  • “The people at Westcoast Wills and Estates were extremely kind, informative and responsive. During such a difficult time these attributes were most appreciated. Thank you so much for all your help and patience.”
