Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect the people, assets, and legacy that matter most. Murphy Law provides personalized estate planning services designed to give you confidence that your wishes will be respected and your affairs managed according to your intentions.
Wills
A properly drafted Will allows you to decide how your estate will be distributed, who will administer your estate, and how your wishes will be carried out. Without a valid Will, Alberta legislation determines how your estate is administered and distributed, which may not reflect your intentions. Murphy Law prepares Wills tailored to your family, your financial circumstances, and your long-term goals.
Planning for Complex Family and Business Matters
Every family and every estate is unique. If you have a blended family, own a business, operate a farm, or have significant assets, your estate plan may require additional planning. Murphy Law can advise on succession planning, shareholder agreements, cohabitation agreements, and other legal strategies designed to help protect your family, your business, and your legacy.
Planning for Incapacity
A comprehensive estate plan also prepares for the unexpected. Murphy Law prepares Enduring Powers of Attorney and Personal Directives so that someone you trust can make financial and personal decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to do so. If a loved one has already lost capacity, we can also assist with applications for guardianship and trusteeship.
Probate & Estate Administration
Acting as an executor or administering an estate can be both a significant responsibility and a complex legal process. Murphy Law assists personal representatives throughout the probate and estate administration process, including preparing court applications, advising on legal responsibilities, communicating with beneficiaries, and helping ensure the estate is administered efficiently and in accordance with Alberta law. If disputes arise, our team can also provide experienced representation to help resolve estate-related matters.
