Estate litigation arises:

Following the death of a loved one in the form of a challenge to that person’s Will or trust;
If an individual dies intestate (without a Will), or had a Will, but failed to leave their entire estate, or the majority of it, to their spouse; or
As a challenge to a Power of Attorney when capacity issues arise with respect to an elderly parent or friend.
Issues regarding Wills can be in the form of the validity or interpretation of a Will, or suspicion of undue influence being placed upon the party drafting of the Will, particularly if the capacity of that individual may be in question.

With respect to capacity issues, guardianship and trusteeship disputes may arise when there is disagreement about a person’s capacity to manage their own affairs (including medical, financial and legal matters).

At McAllister LLP, we are keenly aware that this type of litigation is particularly emotional for all parties, and pride ourselves on having the tact and integrity required to deal with this delicate type of litigation.

Typically, when our clients meet with us to prepare their Last Will and Testament, they will be asked if they want a full estate planning package. In addition to a Will, this would include an Enduring Power of Attorney and a Personal Directive.

An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that names a person of your choice (your agent) to handle your financial, medical and legal matters in the event you are not able to do so yourself – usually due to illness. This allows the person you have designated to manage your personal matters, such as paying bills, either permanently, or until you have recovered and are able to handle these matters on your own again.

A Personal Directive is a legal document wherein you name an agent to act on your behalf with respect to all medical decisions in the event you are unable to do so yourself. This document enables your agent to convey your specific wishes regarding medical treatment decisions and end of life care.
