We are often asked: Should I incorporate? What about the share structure? What should it look like? I’m thinking about employee share ownership. How does that work? What about a Unanimous Shareholders Agreement? How can I sell my business? Should I sell shares or assets? My accountant says it is time for a corporate restructuring. What does that look like? Can you help me with succession planning?
When someone dies without a will they are said to die intestate. Previously, the distribution of the estate of a person who died intestate was governed by the Intestate Succession Act.
Best of the season to all of you! Now that we have survived the end of the world, we have an opportunity to pause, breathe, get grounded, connect with ourselves, connect with our loved ones and the world around us and feel the gratitude of all the presents we have right here in the present moment.
Seasons Greetings and Christmas Hours. In order to allow our wonderful staff the opportunity to spend some extra time with family and friends, we will be closed over the upcoming holiday season as follows. We will be open on Christmas Eve December 24 until 12 noon and will then reopen for business at 8:30 am on January 2, 2013.
First off, what are we dealing with? The new Wills & Succession Act (WSA) is the single biggest overhaul to Wills & Estates legislation since Alberta became a province in 1905. It affects everything from how Wills are interpreted to rights of family members to file a claim against the estate.
The Business Corporations Act provides no effective method to resolve differences between feuding shareholders in a small business. We have seen businesses go from healthy to life support while the shareholders fight over someone?s departure.
We make it painless, cost efficient and timely to have a Will prepared by a lawyer. We realize time is a precious commodity. Even though your Will is one of the most crucial documents you will prepare in your lifetime, you still don?t want to make three trips to the lawyer?s office to have your will completed.
