Our Estate Litigation Practice Areas

As one of Toronto’s respected estate boutiques, our firm focuses on a wide range of practice areas within estate litigation, including:

Will Challenges

We represent clients in will challenges where the validity of the will is questioned. This may involve claims of lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, or improper drafting. Our lawyers guide clients through the legal thresholds required to contest or defend a will in Ontario courts.

Trustee and Executor Disputes

Disputes in estate trustees and executors are increasingly common. Allegations may include delay in administration, mismanagement of assets, or breach of fiduciary duty. We advise trustees and beneficiaries on their rights and responsibilities, and litigate on their behalf when necessary.

Power of Attorney Disputes

Disputes over powers of attorney often arise when one party is suspected of acting outside the scope of their authority or exploiting a vulnerable adult. We help clients address these issues both before and after death, using both litigation and mediation strategies.

Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

While we are experienced in court litigation, we often recommend mediation as a cost-effective and private alternative to trial. Our team has strong relationships with top mediators and uses dispute resolution processes to resolve estate matters efficiently and with reduced conflict.

Elder Law and Capacity Disputes

We also advise on elder law concerns, including disputes involving a living person’s capacity to manage property or personal care. Our lawyers represent clients in court applications for guardianship, capacity assessments, and disputes involving undue influence or exploitation.
