Trusted Estate Law Services in Edmonton
Forum Estates, deeply rooted in Alberta, draws upon the esteemed reputation of Forum Law LLP, delivering estate planning that is both client-focused and expertly tailored. Whether addressing straightforward or complex matters, our team is dedicated to navigating legal challenges efficiently, ensuring your wishes and your interests are upheld without unnecessary complications.
Our Range of Services
Your will is the cornerstone of your estate plan. We draft clear, enforceable wills that ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and minimize the risk of future legal challenges. Our team works closely with you to reflect your values and safeguard your family’s future.
Powers of attorney give control to people you trust over your legal and financial life in case you cannot do it. We create long-term documents that check that your affairs are taken care of and your interests are safeguarded. It is a crucial step towards medium- and long-term security and peace of mind.
A personal directive allows someone you trust to make health care and personal decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. We help you create clear, legally sound directives that ensure your preferences are followed and your dignity respected, even during life’s most uncertain moments.
Trusts
Trusts are a good asset protection, as well as a low-tax arrangement and a means of intergenerational wealth transfer. The types of trust that you require may be family, testamentary or special-purpose, but our attorneys will assist you in establishing and managing them. We are cautious enough to keep track of the changing Canadian laws and fulfill your individual objectives.
Business Succession Planning
For business owners, succession planning is crucial to achieving long-term success and a seamless exit. We develop personalized strategies that include buy-sell agreements, share restructuring, tax optimization, and integration with your estate plan. Preserve business continuity and protect your life’s work with clarity and control.
Administering an estate involves complex legal, financial, and procedural tasks. We assist executors in obtaining probate, gathering assets, paying debts, and distributing inheritances. With our expert guidance, the process becomes clear, manageable, and legally sound, minimizing risks and delays.
Certain estate matters require court intervention, especially in cases of conflict, uncertainty, or incapacity. We handle a wide range of applications, including probate, trustee disputes, guardianship, and variations of these matters. Our legal team strikes a balance between assertive advocacy and a solution-focused approach to protect your best interests.
Executors are subject to several legal obligations and personal responsibilities. We provide step-by-step guidance to help executors carry out their duties with confidence and accuracy. From interpreting the will to resolving disputes, our legal support helps avoid mistakes, delays, and personal liability.
Civil cases involving wills, estates, or executorship may be emotionally charged and complex. Our clients are represented in claims involving will challenges, undue influence, disputes between beneficiaries, and other related matters. We aim at handling disputes professionally and with dignity, and whenever possible, we strive to maintain the relationship within the family.
