A lifetime of work deserves a plan that honours it.

A home. A business. Savings built over a lifetime. The people you want to provide for — and the people you trust to carry out your wishes.

Everyone knows they should have a will. Far fewer realize that a will is only part of the plan. A will names who inherits, but on its own it doesn't minimize the taxes that erode an estate, decide who speaks for you if you can't speak for yourself, or keep your wishes on track once you're no longer here to explain them. Life happens, and without the right structures in place, the gaps you can't see are often the ones that leave the people you love unprotected.

Lianne MacDonald, Del Elgersma, and their experienced legal assistants guide you from start to finish — taking a comprehensive look at your full financial picture and shaping a plan that protects your wishes, your assets, and the people you love.

How We Help

Will & Estate Planning

We take a comprehensive look at your full financial picture — reviewing potential claims against your estate, minimizing income and probate taxes, helping you choose the right executor and trustee, and ensuring your wishes are protected. We’ll also discuss representation agreements, powers of attorney, and health care directives, so every aspect of your plan is covered.

Everything is prepared in plain language. Always.

Committeeship Applications

If someone you love is no longer able to manage their own affairs, a court-appointed committee — usually a close family member — may be needed to act on their behalf. We guide families through this process with care and clarity. Call us if you have questions.

Elder Care

Everyone deserves someone capable and trustworthy in their corner as they age. If you don’t have close family nearby, or simply don’t want to burden them, we can help manage your legal, financial, and health care matters — so your needs are met and your independence is protected.

What Makes Beacon Law Unique

First, you don't get a solo lawyer — you get a team, watching the details and the documents that surround your estate, not just the will itself. Second, we're responsive, so questions don't linger and decisions stay on track. Third, we speak plainly. Planning for what happens to the people you love involves difficult conversations, and those conversations go better without legalese in the way.

Our mission is maximizing prosperity and peace of mind. In estate planning, peace of mind means knowing that everyone you love has been considered — and that no one will be left guessing what you wanted.
