Wills and Estates Legal Services in Vancouver & North Vancouver

At Pax Law Corporation, our estate practice assists individuals and families in protecting their assets, fulfilling their wishes, and securing legal clarity for future generations.

Whether you are drafting your first will, structuring your family assets, managing the estate of a deceased family member, or handling an estate dispute, our legal team provides clear, structured, and diligent counsel at every phase.

Estate law in British Columbia extends beyond the distribution of property—it establishes legal safeguards to preserve family assets, reduce potential conflicts, and implement financial and healthcare decisions at critical times. Guided by British Columbia’s legal framework, including the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA), we assist clients in making informed decisions aligned with their specific circumstances.

Preparing Enduring Powers of Attorney for financial and legal authority
Drafting Representation Agreements and Advance Directives for healthcare decisions

2. Estate Administration & Asset Distribution

We assist executors, legal representatives, and beneficiaries through the practical and formal steps required following a death:

Applying for Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration
Settling estate debts, liabilities, and required tax filings
Carrying out the lawful, orderly distribution of estate assets and property to designated beneficiaries

3. Estate Litigation & Will Disputes

When disputes arise among beneficiaries, heirs, or executors, our lawyers represent your interests through negotiation and legal proceedings:

Challenging the formal validity of a will
Filing claims for will variations under the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Haghjou handled my case with the support of Mr. Erfan Behzadi. They were truly even more proactive than I was in following up on my case and handled every step with great care and attention to detail. I sincerely thank them both for their dedication and support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Dr. Samin Mortazavi and the incredible team at Pax Law Corporation enough for their exceptional work. After facing long delays with my citizenship application, I reached out to Dr. Samin for a Mandamus application before the Federal Court.
From day one, his expertise and legal mastery were evident. The Memorandum of Argument he prepared was a masterpiece—thorough, impeccably structured, and completely airtight. Within just five and a half months, my citizenship was approved, and I have already got my Canadian citizenship.
A special thanks to Mr. Pouria Soltani, the case manager, who was amazingly supportive and very helpful during whole the process. He took the time to explain every detail and guided me through the entire process with great patience. Also, special appreciation to Ms. Anousheh at the front desk for always being so welcoming, polite, and responsive over the phone.
If you are looking for a highly skilled, dedicated, and top-tier legal team that delivers results, Dr. Samin and Pax Law Corporation are hands down the best. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very good experience with Pax Law. I needed my PR card renewal sorted quickly because of an upcoming business trip, so I did some research and also asked ChatGPT for the best and fastest option in Vancouver. Pax Law came up as the first recommendation, so I gave them a call.

They were friendly, very organised and paid attention to every detail. They understood the urgency and had everything prepared for me within two days, with really good communication and follow up throughout.

Very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them.
