Our estate and trust professionals are skilled in the intricacies of estate settlement and administration. They are also sensitive to the complexities of family dynamics, and their compassion and professionalism can make settling and administering an estate much easier on you.

In addition, our team of tax specialists are trained in the complex area of estate taxation. In order to preserve the value of the estate, each estate receives a thorough income tax review to identify tax savings opportunities. By carefully reviewing the unique circumstances of the estate and exploring special income tax elections, the estate will be handled in the most tax effective manner. In addition to preparing and filing the final tax returns for the estate, our tax specialists can relieve you of the burden of dealing with Canada Revenue Agency in closing the estate.
