Committeeship - adult guardianship - powers of attorney - representation agreements - trust claims - probate actions - passing of accounts - wills & trust variations
Choices in making out your will or changing your will range from:
If you think there may be any possibility of dispute over your "final wishes" as stated in your will and/or how the estate or part of the estate is to be, or is currently being managed (e.g. as in a Trust) - we strongly recommend you do some research before drawing up the will. The court costs involved in a legal dispute over a will may be charged against the estate, so its better to spend a little more money to find the appropriate way to have your will made.
Many Victoria lawyers, law firms or notaries in this section can and will do a will for you. Whether the will -- will withstand a court challenge by a variety of interested parties, including relatives, organizations representing handicapped/disabled beneficiaries of the will or other interested third parties (e.g. the Office of the Public Guardian, formerly Public Trustee) -- is an issue that partly depends on the experience of the legal specialists working with you.
"You may want to interview prospective legal professionals as to their experience in handling contested wills and estates before you retain them." N.Chan, BA, MSW 1985-1989 Quality of Life Assurance Project Consultant to Office of Public Trustee, BC

Note the following article was on the front page of the Victoria Times Colonist newspaper, Sunday February 15, 2004, by Malcolm Curtis, Times Colonist staff.
PLUGGING THE LEAKS The condo saga continues, with some losing their homes, other seeing retirement plans wrecked
...leaky condos in Victoria. More than five years after a provincial commission of inquiry dug into the issue, the faulty buildings are continuing to surface.
Renovation companies took out a total of $9.1 million in permits in the city last year to repair defective "building envelopes." The sum was $6.5 million in the previous year and $5.688 million in 2001. These costs do not include engineering and consulting fees that can triple the actual outlay by condo owners.
[The author of this article Malcolm Curtis further observes] And after the leaks are fixed, sometimes at the expense of people having to give up their homes, a messy legal residue is left behind"... Lawsuits from condo owners against developers, builders, engineers, architects and municipalities have been flying... The city of Victoria [emphasis added] has started to set aside $400,000 a year to deal with legal settlements. ...
[The photo on this page is the actual building featured in the above article, located near downtown Victoria on Yates Street.]
