From your first inquiry to a clear legal strategy, we follow a structured, transparent workflow tailored to property succession, tax planning, and contract review matters.
We begin by collecting relevant documents — wills, property titles, gift deeds, or service agreements. A preliminary review identifies key legal issues under the Income Tax Act and provincial property laws.
Our team analyzes the specific succession, tax, or consumer contract concerns. We map out statutory obligations, potential liabilities, and planning opportunities based on your personal circumstances.
We present a tailored consultation outlining actionable steps — whether structuring a property gift, preparing an estate distribution plan, or renegotiating a service agreement clause.
If needed, we assist with drafting legal documents, filing tax elections, or corresponding with third parties. Our goal is to ensure your plan is executed correctly and in compliance with current law.
We remain available for follow-up questions, updates to your plan as laws change, and periodic reviews of your property and tax arrangements to maintain alignment with your long-term objectives.
What our clients say about the practical outcomes of our civil law and tax planning counsel.
“The succession plan they drafted saved my family from a year of probate disputes. The clarity on spousal rights under WESA was exactly what we needed.”
“Their tax planning support helped me transfer my cottage to my daughter without triggering a deemed disposition. The principal residence exemption strategy worked perfectly.”
“I had signed a listing agreement with an automatic renewal clause. They reviewed the contract and got me out of it with no penalty. Consumer protection law really works.”
“The consultation on property inheritance under Quebec’s Civil Code was thorough. They explained the forced heirship rules and how to structure a will to respect them.”
Each consultation area is designed to address a specific legal or tax need related to residential property. Below is a clear breakdown of what each service covers and the concrete outcome you can expect.
We review your estate plan or the estate of a deceased relative to ensure the distribution of the family home and other residential property follows the Wills, Estates and Succession Act. Our lawyers identify potential disputes among heirs, clarify the role of the personal representative, and confirm spousal rights under provincial law.
You receive a clear succession roadmap that minimizes family conflict and legal delays.
We analyze the tax consequences of transferring a residential property to a spouse, child, or other family member. Our team explains the deemed disposition rule, the principal residence exemption, and the attribution rules under the Income Tax Act. We then propose a gifting or joint ownership structure that reduces your tax exposure.
You gain a tax-efficient transfer plan that avoids unexpected CRA reassessments.
We examine listing agreements, buyer representation contracts, and property management terms for unfair clauses such as automatic renewal, excessive cancellation fees, or broad indemnification. Our review references provincial consumer protection statutes and identifies provisions that may be unenforceable.
You receive a written assessment of risky clauses and a negotiation strategy to secure balanced terms.
