Estate Planning

As unpleasant as the task is, estate planning is one of the necessities in life. It allows peace of mind knowing your hard earned assets will be dealt with in the manner you choose.

For business owners, a plan for succession of ownership is essential. We can guide you through the process of providing for business continuity. Read more on Succession Planning.

At Graham & Dobson we are experienced in estate planning, and can help you develop a plan that will work for all the people in your life.

The executor and trustee of a will is required to perform a number of duties. The areas involved in estate administration we are able to assist with include:

Meeting to discuss objectives for your estate
Confirming assets - valuations, inventories, appraisals
Documentation involved in estate planning
Protecting the assets
Paying taxes and debts
Estate distribution
Administration of estates that aren't distributed shortly after death

Graham & Dobson helped me start my own business in 2007. Without their help and support the process would have been a lot harder. They offer excellent on-going support and advice.
