Probate

McQuarrie has extensive experience probating wills to establish their status as legally valid under British Columbia law. The passing of a loved one can be emotionally stressful, and unfortunately, contentious moments can also occur for your family. If you are the executor, you have the option of probating the will yourself, however it can be a lot to handle and very time consuming during an already difficult time.

We maintain up-to-date awareness of current probate rules put in place in 2014 in the Wills, Estates and Succession Act to ensure there are no mistakes or undue delays. You can trust our professionalism in the event of a dispute over any aspect of the will or estate. Contact us for a private consultation, here.
