Probate lawyer Vancouver
The experienced probate lawyers in Vancouver at Westcoast Wills & Estates aim to alleviate the burden faced by executors (with a will) and estate administrators (without a will). The responsibilities that come with being an executor of a will can often feel overwhelming. Worse yet, executors and adminstrators are personally liable for mistakes they make. We make the probate process as seamless as possible while also advising clients about what to do and how to do it right.
There are a different types of grants available from the Supreme Court of BC, but the most common are: a grant of probate (where this is a will), and a grant of administration without will annexed (where there is no will). While they differ in name, they are essentially the same in practice in that the give the person applying the right to deal with an estate without restrictions. Our estate lawyers have years of experience in obtaining both types of grants from court.
