Tax & Estate Planning

Clark Wilson LLP's Tax & Estate Planning Practice Group provides experienced legal counsel to clients on all diverse matters relating to the creation of an effective estate plan.

Estate planning involves issues of asset ownership, protection and distribution, both during life and upon death. Our clients' goals are diverse, and may include some of the following:

  • providing for family members;

  • planning for incapacity;

  • minimization of income taxes and probate fees;

  • mitigating concerns of possible Wills Variation Act claims;

  • protecting against risks of legal claims by various parties; and

  • tax-effective charitable giving.

An effective estate plan is a legal strategy that ensures a client's personal objectives concerning the administration and succession to his or her wealth are implemented in a tax efficient manner.

Clark Wilson also provides experienced legal counsel in all areas of Elder Law including Estate Litigation. We have expertise in all estate related areas including Will validating and variation, estate administration, including accounting and executor negligence and fraud, trust variations, committeeships and power of attorney litigation.
