Wills and Estates

Estate Planning


Our office is proud to offer in-depth estate planning services for our clients. A comprehensive estate plan includes a Will, Power of Attorney, and Personal Directive. It is very important to ensure you have all three, and that your wishes are properly transferred from word to paper. 


We are committed to ensuring the protection of your assets and a smooth transition of wealth to future generations. Estate planning is important for everyone, regardless of asset ownership. An estate plan helps convey instructions to your Personal Representative (the person(s) in charge of dealing with your estate) and helps ensure a smoother end to your estate. Proper estate planning with our experienced lawyers allows you to feel secure “just in case” something happens to you.


Estates


Grants of Probate & Estate Administration

Weary & Company is here to help Personal Representatives (Executors) navigate the requirements to obtain a Grant from the Alberta Courts and administer an estate. The Grant allows the Personal Representative(s) to deal with the deceased’s property in order to finalize the estate. Not every estate needs to obtain a Grant – if you are uncertain of the requirements for an estate you are the Personal Representative for, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office. 


Administering an Estate Without a Grant

Our office is also happy to help Personal Representatives with the Notice procedure if you are administering an estate without a Grant. While there are no court documents to file in this case, there are notice procedures in the legislation which should still be followed.


Executor Responsibilities & Support

Being chosen as someone’s Personal Representative is both an honour and a large amount of responsibility. Seeking help to ensure you are administering the estate properly is a part of that responsibility and is something our office is here to help with.

Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship

The Adult Guardianship and Trusteeship Act (the “AGTA”) is Alberta legislation that enables an interested party to obtain legal authority to assist an adult with his or her decision making. The decision making arrangements contemplated under the AGTA may be useful for individuals requiring varying levels of support including adults with language or communication difficulties, adults living with lifelong mental impairments and senior citizens struggling with dementia or other cognitive impairments.

If an individual lacks the capacity to understand information relevant to making decisions, or to appreciate the consequences of making or failing to make certain decisions, then the appointment of a Guardian and/or Trustee may be appropriate. In order for a Guardian and Trustee to be appointed, an application must be made to the Court for a Guardianship and Trusteeship Order.


Guardianship

In situations where an adult lacks the mental capacity to make decisions regarding their own personal matters, he or she may benefit from the appointment of a Guardian. In order to apply to the Court for a Guardianship Order, a doctor or other designated Capacity Assessor must complete a Capacity Assessment Report stating that the adult lacks the capacity to make decisions about personal matters. Personal matters are any matters that relate to a person’s health care, living conditions, participation in social activities and/or educational training, but do not include decisions relating to financial matters. If a Guardian is appointed to make decisions on behalf of an adult, the Guardian’s authority is restricted to areas in which the adult lacks capacity.

In order to obtain the authority to make financial decisions on another individual’s behalf, a Trusteeship Order is required.


Trusteeship

In circumstances where an individual lacks the capacity to make financial decisions, it may be appropriate to apply to the Court for a Trusteeship Order. As is the case with an application for a Guardianship Order, a Capacity Assessment Report is required in order to apply to the Court for a Trusteeship Order. If appointed Trustee, the Trustee would be in a position to take possession and control of the adult’s property, sign all documents on the adult’s behalf, do anything in relation to financial matters that the adult could do themselves, and make expenditures out of the adult’s property for the adult’s education, support and care. It is significant to note, however, that a Trustee does not have the authority to sell, encumber or purchase land on the adult’s behalf, unless he or she has been given specific permission to do so from the Court.
