Wills & Estates

Planning for the future is a difficult, but necessary task. Let the lawyers at Brar Law give you peace of mind and help you ensure that your family is protected and that your legacy is secured.

Our estate planning services include:

1. Wills
   • • A will can easily be one of the most important documents that you create. A will lets you decide who inherits your assets upon your passing, and also determines who will administer your estate.
       A will can seem complicating and daunting, but let our team help you navigate through the process and make sure that everything is covered for your peace of mind.
       Whether you are drafting a will, making changes to a current will with a codicil, or you simply have questions about wills, contact Brar Law today to speak with one of our lawyers.
2. Personal Directives
   • • A personal directive is a document that directs who will make decisions in regards to your health and well-being if you lose the mental capacity to make these decisions for yourself. This is a “springing” power of attorney and only “springs” into effect if/when you lose your mental capacity. A personal directive gives directions on what kind of healthcare treatment you will receive, or where you will reside during your treatment.
3. Power of Attorneys
   • • The most common power of attorney that accompanies estate documents is called an “Enduring Power of Attorney”. This power of attorney will allow someone to act on your behalf when you lose the capacity to make those decisions for yourself. Whereas a personal directive covers your healthcare, an enduring power of attorney can be farther reaching and can give power to your attorney over finances, real estate, corporations, etc.
     • Along with Enduring Power of Attorneys, Brar Law also drafts Specific and General Power of Attorneys.
4. Grant of Administration
   • • When there is no administrator of an estate (in cases where the deceased has passed without a will, or the appointed representative in the will is also deceased), the court can appoint an individual to act as administrator of the estate.
5. Probate
   • • When an individual passes, in order for real property to be passed through a will it needs to be validated by the court system. This process is called probate, and the estate of the deceased must apply for a Grant of Probate before any real property can be transferred. Our team can assist you with this process and answer any questions that you may have.
