Now that spring has finally sprung, the travel bug may be getting itchy! If you have a minor child travelling, you may need a travel consent letter.

When a loved one passes away, the responsibility for administering their estate often falls to a family member or close friend. In Alberta, this process (known as probate or administration if there is no Will) can appear straightforward at first glance. With online resources, such as the surrogate digital service, and court forms readily available, some Personal Representatives (the modern name for executor) consider handling probate themselves to save money.

However, probate is more than just paperwork. It is a legal process with significant responsibilities, strict requirements, and potential risks. Hiring a lawyer can make a meaningful difference in ensuring the estate is handled properly, efficiently, and with minimal stress.

When buying, selling, or mortgaging property in Alberta, married couples may encounter a concept called "Dower rights" or “Dower.” These rights are unique to certain provinces in Canada. In Alberta, they play an important role in protecting a spouse’s interest in the family home. If you are married and own property in Alberta, it is important to understand how dower rights affect your legal and financial decisions.
