We've helped hundreds of families and property owners navigate complex legal situations. Here's a look at some of our work - names changed, of course, but the outcomes are all real.
Family had been working their land near Chilliwack for over 60 years but had zero estate planning in place. Three kids, lots of disagreements about who'd take over.
Neighbors had been arguing over a fence line for 8 months. Survey showed one property owner had actually built their garage 3 feet onto the other's land back in 1987.
Parents wanted to make sure their daughter with developmental disabilities would be taken care of without losing government benefits. Tricky balance to strike.
Developer wanted to convert an old warehouse in Mount Pleasant into mixed-use residential. City wasn't making it easy, and there were some heritage concerns to navigate.
Deceased had assets in Canada, the UK, and Hong Kong. Will was pretty straightforward, but getting everything sorted across three jurisdictions... that's another story.
Client in early stages of dementia wanted to get everything lined up while they still could. Family wasn't all on the same page about who should handle what.
Second marriages always get complicated when both sides have kids from previous relationships. This couple wanted fairness but also wanted to protect their own kids' inheritances.
Rural property owner's only road access crossed a neighbor's land. That neighbor decided to put up a gate and start charging a monthly fee. Yeah, that's not how easements work.
