planning for what matters most

At Lakeside Law we recognize the importance of a customized estate plan which meets the needs of each individual client.  Thoughtful planning helps maintain family harmony, address unforeseen challenges and demonstrates thoughtful stewardship of your financial and personal responsibilities. We work closely with specialized estate and tax planners where necessary, to ensure your estate planning and succession needs are met. 

A will is one of the most important legal documents you can create, allowing you to determine exactly how your assets, property and personal belongings will be distributed after your passing. Without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to provincial intestacy laws, which may not reflect your true wishes and could result in unnecessary disputes, delays, or unintended outcomes for your loved ones. Taking time to create or update your Will offers peace of mind, minimizes family conflict, and hels preserve your legacy exactly as you envision. 

Whether your Estate involves straightforward assets or complex holdings, we work with you to create a comprehensive plan that protects you and your family. Contact us today to discuss how a professionally prepared will can safeguard you and your family's future.

We prepare Powers of Attorneys that are carefully tailored to your needs, offering peace of mind that your affiars will be handled responsibly and in accordance with your wishes.
