Experienced Toronto Estate Administration Lawyer
If you have been named as the executor of someone's will, or if a family member has died without a will, you may be looking for skilled guidance through the probate process. At Banks & Starkman, we provide probate services to clients throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
Etobicoke estate administration lawyer Leonard A. Banks has many years of experience advising and representing Estate Trustees. We understand that this can be a difficult time and that you need personal attention from a law firm that is prepared to take care of the details for you.
Assisting Estate Trustees With Their Responsibilities
The first step in Ontario's probate process is filing an application for Appointment as an Estate Trustee. This confirms that the will — if one has been created — is valid and gives the trustee the authority to carry out debt settlements and asset distribution on behalf of the estate.
Estate administration is a major part of our practice at Banks & Starkman, and we have guided countless clients through every step of the trusteeship process.
Certain assets are distributed outside of probate, including joint bank accounts, joint real estate, and other assets kept out of probate through estate planning. In addition to assisting you with probate, we can also help you ensure that these assets are transferred correctly.
