Wills and estates lawyers prepare wills and powers of attorney, help families administer an estate after a death, and advise on estate disputes. Many firms in this area also handle real estate, so the two often appear together.
In Ontario, planning for incapacity usually means a continuing power of attorney for property and a power of attorney for personal care. Ask your lawyer which documents fit your situation.
Simple wills and powers of attorney are often quoted as a flat fee. Estate administration is more variable, so ask whether the quote is flat, hourly or a percentage. Ask about disbursements (third-party costs), taxes, and what happens if your matter changes in scope. Many firms offer a first consultation, but confirm whether it is free.
