Calgary Estate Planning Lawyers 

Whether you are looking to preserve your wealth for future generations or want to make sure your family is provided for, it’s important to work with an experienced estate lawyer.

The strategic and highly skilled Calgary Estate planning lawyers at DBH Law work with our clients to proactively develop estate plans to meet the specific needs of your estate.

What is an Estate Plan? 

Simply put, an Estate plan is a document or sets of documents, that outlines how you want your affairs to be handled when you pass away or in the event of your physical or mental incapacity.

It’s a series of detailed instructions that not only covers what will happen to your assets but also:

  • How your bills and debts will be paid (including taxes and probate);
  • How your investments will be handled;
  • How decisions should be made about your health and personal care in the event that you become unable to make those decisions;
  • How you want your children to be cared for;
  • How you want your business affairs handled; and
  • How to prepare a business for succession.

These are only a few of the things that a comprehensive estate plan can address. Estate plans can be simple or complex depending on a number of factors including the specific circumstances of the individual, how many assets they have, their family structure, whether they own a business, and similar.  A well-drafted Estate plan can also help minimize taxes.

Estate plans should be reviewed at regular interviews, and particularly after major life changes including marriage, birth or adoption of a child, divorce, re-marriage, death of a spouse, and similar.
