Why Estate Planning Can't Wait

The Three Things That Happen When There's No Plan

Estates without proper planning don't just create legal headaches — they erode the wealth you spent a lifetime building and fracture the families you were trying to protect.

01

Probate Delays & Costs

Without proper trust structures, estates can be tied up in probate for months or years — with fees eating up to 3% or more of your total estate value before a single dollar reaches your family.

02

CRA Takes More Than Necessary

Unplanned estates trigger capital gains and income inclusions on death that could have been legally minimized. Poor structure means CRA becomes one of your largest "beneficiaries."

03

Family Conflict

Ambiguous wills and poorly structured estates are the single largest driver of family disputes. Clear, professional planning eliminates uncertainty before it becomes irreversible damage.

Estate & Trust Services, Done Thoughtfully

Estate Planning

Estate Tax Planning & Structuring

We analyze your assets and design strategies to minimize the tax liability triggered on death — including capital gains elections, spousal rollovers, charitable gifting, and more.

Trusts

Trust Establishment & Administration

From family trusts and testamentary trusts to alter ego and Henson trusts — we set them up correctly and manage ongoing compliance so trustees don't face personal liability.

Executor Support

Estate Administration & Executor Help

Being named executor is a significant legal responsibility. We prepare estate tax returns (T3s), clear CRA clearance certificates, and guide executors through every step.

Ongoing

Annual Trust Accounting & Reporting

Existing trusts require ongoing T3 filings, bookkeeping, and beneficiary reporting. We handle the compliance burden year after year so nothing slips through the cracks.

Business Owners

Succession & Business Transfer Planning

Passing a business to the next generation requires careful use of the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption, estate freezes, and holding structures. We plan it properly.

Coordination

Accountant-Lawyer Collaboration

We work alongside your estate lawyer and financial advisor — or can refer you to trusted partners — to ensure your financial and legal documents are perfectly aligned.

Our Process

A Simple, Personal Process

01

Free Review

We listen to your situation — assets, family structure, concerns — and give you an honest picture of where you stand and what's at risk.

02

Custom Strategy

We design a tax-efficient estate structure tailored to your family, your assets, and your wishes — not a generic template.

03

Implementation

We work with you and your lawyer to put the plan into place — trusts, returns, registrations, and documentation all handled properly.

04

Ongoing Care

We stay involved — reviewing your plan as your life changes and handling all ongoing trust compliance and reporting requirements.

The Best Time to Plan Your Estate Was Yesterday. The Second Best Time Is Today.
