Child and Spousal Support

Division of Property

In any relationship, property often becomes intertwined. If a relationship falls apart, it can be confusing and incredibly stressful to divide property. Having an experienced lawyer who understands how division of property works in an efficient and easy manner is essential.

Adoption

Adopting a child can be an incredibly rewarding and life changing event. To be eligible, you must be a resident of Alberta, be at least 18 years old, have financial and domestic stability, and be physically and mentally capable of adopting a child. This process can be confusing and stressful.

Cohabitation Agreements

These agreements set out the roles, rights, and responsibilities of each person before, during, and if it happens, after a relationship. They are for people who plan to live together, but don't get married, such as those in common law relationships. They can reduce stress and unnecessary costs down the road.

Prenuptial Agreements

This is one of the first things many people think of in relation to family law. These agreements are very similar to cohabitation agreements, but are for those who intend to marry.

Separation Agreements

Once you and your previous partner have come to a resolution on the issues relating to your separation, it is paramount to have this in writing. This is known as a separation agreement. This can provide you with closure to a difficult time in your life so that you can begin moving on.

Another way to protect your family and your assets is having a properly drafted Will and other documents in place. It is important to know that no estate is too small to have a Will in place. What matters is your assets and protecting them. Leave the stressful conversations to us and not your family members down the road.

Wills

A Will is a legal document that outlines how you want your property to be dealt with after your death. The property distributed under the instructions of your Will is known as your estate. If you do not have a Will, there is legislation in Alberta to say who will have an interest in your estate. This may or may not be what you want. In any event, it is better to have your wishes in writing. We know what questions to ask so that we draft a will efficiently and in an easy way so that your estate is properly protected.

Enduring Power of Attorney & Personal Directive

An Enduring Power of Attorney is an agreement that allows another individual to make financial decisions on your behalf if you are no longer able to do so. A Personal Directive is very similar but it is broader, and can relate to decisions relating to healthcare and residential issues. Having these documents in place is better than having your loved ones go through difficult conversations that may arise if the documents are not there.

Applications for Probate

Probate is the start of the legal process for executing the wishes of an estate, either with a Will in place, or without one. It can be a very confusing and stressful process, especially after the loss of a loved one. Let us take care of the stress for you in applying for probate, so that the estate of your loved one can be executed and finalized.
