Wills and Estates
Wills & Estates Law Services – Birring Law
Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and assets. At Birring Law, we provide compassionate and strategic legal support for individuals and families across Ontario in all areas of estate planning and administration. From drafting wills to navigating the probate process, we’re here to give you peace of mind and clarity every step of the way.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. At Birring Law, we help you prepare both:
Power of Attorney for Personal Care – to appoint someone to make health and personal care decisions if you become mentally incapable.
Power of Attorney for Property – to allow someone to manage your finances, assets, and property either immediately or in the event of incapacity.
We ensure your documents are legally sound, reflect your wishes, and provide the clarity and authority your chosen attorney needs to act in your best interest.
Probating a Will After Someone Passes Away
Losing a loved one is difficult enough without the added stress of managing legal responsibilities. If you are named as the executor of a will, you may need to apply for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (probate) in Ontario. Our services include:
Assisting with the probate application
Helping you understand your legal duties as an executor
Managing estate assets, debts, and distributions
Liaising with financial institutions, beneficiaries, and government agencies
Resolving disputes or legal issues that arise
We guide executors and families through every stage of the probate process, ensuring the estate is administered efficiently and in accordance with the law.
Tax and Estate Planning
Smart estate planning isn’t just about preparing for the future—it’s also about minimizing tax implications and preserving your wealth for the next generation. At Birring Law, we work closely with accountants, financial advisors, and clients to:
Structure your estate to minimize probate fees and taxes
Set up trusts for children, dependents, or charitable giving
Advise on joint ownership, gifting, and succession strategies
Protect assets from creditors or family disputes
We craft customized estate plans that align with your goals, values, and the unique needs of your family or business.
