Helping You Plan for the Future and Navigate Estate Responsibilities with Confidence
Whether you're preparing a Will, planning for the future, applying for Probate, or managing a loved one's estate, having the right support can provide clarity and peace of mind.
Our Wills & Estates services are overseen by Principal Lawyer Christopher Lapointe and coordinated by Tamsin Lapointe, who provides a consistent point of contact throughout your matter. Together, we help clients navigate estate planning, Probate and estate administration with clarity and confidence.
Many of the clients we assist come to us following significant life changes including separation, divorce, blended family arrangements, remarriage and changes to their financial circumstances. Our estate planning services have evolved naturally from our family law practice, helping clients protect their loved ones and plan confidently for the future.

A Personal Note from Tamsin
The importance of estate planning became deeply personal to me following the loss of both of my parents.
Through that experience, I saw firsthand the practical, financial and administrative responsibilities that often arise during a period of grief. It reinforced the value of thoughtful planning and having the right support when important decisions need to be made.
Many of the clients we assist are navigating significant life changes, including separation, blended family arrangements, remarriage and changing financial circumstances. These situations can create unique estate planning considerations, making it even more important to ensure your wishes are clearly documented and your loved ones are protected.
Whether you're preparing a Will, reviewing your estate plan or managing the administration of a loved one's estate, I understand that these matters are about far more than legal documents. They are about protecting the people who matter most, preserving your wishes and providing certainty during important life transitions.
It is a privilege to support clients through these important decisions and help them plan confidently for the future.
