We operate one of the few Law Offices in BC that is exclusively focused on Estate, Tax and Charity Law.  Geoffrey White provides the primary legal services.  He has received top legal honours in the areas of Wills, Family Property, Estates and Client Counseling.  He is also a guest speaker at numerous professional meetings and conferences.

In Charity Law, we are proud to have also assisted many charities and donors. In the past few years, we have arranged more than $100 million of charitable gifts. In many cases, the donors of these generous gifts received significant tax benefits as well as the knowledge that their gifts will change lives.

In Estate Law, our office implements estate strategies for clients to preserve and pass on their wealth. We probate these, and other, estates quickly and cost-effectively. We also provide independent advice to beneficiaries who wish to protect their rights within an estate.

Our "Heritage Home" office reflects our desire to help you make these important decisions comfortably and professionally.

We create planning strategies to preserve and pass on wealth.  We believe in a comprehensive and integrated planning process.  Our clients come to us as referrals from other professionals who share our commitment to this process.

Estate Administration

Estate Litigation

We act for executors, trustees, or beneficiaries to protect their rights within an estate (or trust).

Charity and Tax Law
