From a first will to a contested estate, our lawyers cover every stage — with Québec's civil law framework at the centre of our advice.
We draft wills, trusts, and succession plans tailored to your family and property — including blended families, family businesses, and real estate held across provinces. Plans are reviewed as your circumstances change, not filed away and forgotten.
This is the practice Jonathan Michael Oswalt leads personally, and where he serves as clients' primary point of contact for property and inheritance planning.
We guide executors and liquidators through the probate process, asset inventory, debt settlement, and the eventual distribution of an estate — handling the procedural burden so families can focus on each other.
When disputes arise — over a will's validity, an executor's conduct, or a beneficiary's share — we represent clients through negotiation, mediation, and, when necessary, before the courts.
We prepare mandates in anticipation of incapacity and powers of attorney for property and personal care, so decisions stay in the hands you choose, should you ever be unable to make them yourself.
