Wills And Estates Lead By Experience

Experienced Family Lawyers

Effective estate planning is straightforward to understand and reliable when needed most. AMS Mangat Law prepares wills, mirror wills, and powers of attorney that reflect your wishes with clear instructions for executors and attorneys. We structure trusts, including Henson and spousal trusts, to protect vulnerable beneficiaries and address complex assets, such as private corporations and cottages. When someone passes away, we guide executors through the probate process (certificate of appointment) and estate administration, addressing debts, tax filings, and distributions. For disputes involving capacity, undue influence, dependent support, or Testamentary challenges, we act quickly and pragmatically. Our focus is orderly planning today and smooth administration tomorrow.

Plan Protect Preserve

We begin with a straightforward meeting to capture family goals, beneficiaries, guardianship details, and asset information. You will receive plain-language recommendations on will structure, gifts, residue, and executors; whether mirror wills or trusts are appropriate; and which powers of attorney (property and personal care) you should have. Drafts are prepared promptly and signed with proper witnessing and affidavits.

Planning is not just about documents; it is risk management. We use Henson trusts for disability benefits, spousal trusts for blended families, and targeted clauses for corporate shares, cottages, and foreign property. We discuss tax coordination with your advisors and prepare memoranda for digital assets and personal items. For disputes, we act fast to preserve records and prevent misuse of assets.

After someone passes, we guide the executor step-by-step: gathering assets, applying for probate, notifying beneficiaries, paying debts and taxes, and making distributions with a full accounting. We remain available to update your plan as circumstances change, such as marriage, separation, births, or business sales, ensuring your plan stays current and your family's intentions are preserved.

FAQ

Wills And Estates Lawyer Services

When should I hire a wills and estate lawyer to draft or update a will?

You should make or update your will after major life changes—like marriage, divorce, buying a home, or having children. A lawyer makes sure your will is legal and clearly shows how you want your assets handled.

Do all estates require probate, and can a wills and estate lawyer file the application?

Not every estate needs probate, but many do when banks or land offices ask for court approval. A lawyer can prepare and file the probate application to make sure the process runs smoothly.

What do powers of attorney cover, and should a wills and estate lawyer prepare them with my will?

A power of attorney lets someone you trust make decisions if you can’t. A lawyer can prepare these documents along with your will so everything works together legally.

Can a wills and estate lawyer set up trusts (Henson, spousal, testamentary) for beneficiaries?

Yes. A lawyer can create trusts to protect family members, support a spouse, or plan for children’s inheritance. Trusts help manage money safely and reduce taxes.

How does a wills and estate lawyer assist executors with estate administration and disputes?

A lawyer helps executors collect assets, pay debts, and distribute property fairly. If conflicts arise, they guide the executor through legal steps to resolve disputes quickly and properly.
