Hiring a lawyer to assist in a Nova Scotia based estate matter
If you are acting as an executor, it is a good idea to hire a lawyer to advise you of all your obligations. If you do not properly fulfill your obligations to either beneficiaries or creditors, you can be held personally liable. Liability can be minimized if you get appropriate advice and take certain steps such as appropriately advertising the estate in the Royal Gazette prior to distributing assets.
Furthermore, if you are a beneficiary or believe you should have been in a Will, it is important to get advice from a lawyer to determine if you have a claim against the estate, notwithstanding you may not have been named in the Will. The lawyer can help determine if the Will was indeed a valid Will or if you should have been named as a beneficiary and may have a claim as a dependent family member. At Allen Law Inc., we have dealt assisted clients throughout Nova Scotia with claims against estates and have provided timely advice to executors.
