Probate and Estate Administration

Executors in British Columbia carry a big responsibility—often while grieving.  Beacon Law’s Probate & Estate Administration team is here to make the process clear, efficient, and far less stressful. Our mission is “maximizing prosperity and peace of mind” by helping clients navigate significant life events, whether planned or unplanned.

Lawyers Lianne Macdonald and Del Elgersma, and their team of highly experienced legal assistants, guide you from start to finish: preparing the probate application, filing with the BC Supreme Court, addressing creditor and tax issues, and supporting the estate distribution to beneficiaries.

What makes Beacon Law unique? First, you don’t get a solo lawyer—you get a team you can trust, watching details, deadlines, and your executor duties alongside you. Second, we’re responsive, so questions don’t linger and decisions stay on track. Third, we make it easy, with plain-language steps, clear timelines, and support, even when matters are complex, so that you are protected and the deceased’s wishes are honoured.

Book a consultation and let us help you move forward. If you’ve been named an executor, you don’t have to manage the process alone.

Dear Lianne,

Thank you so much for your professional and compassionate advice and service in working with us on my mother’s estate. You responded very promptly to our plea for help and especially in difficult times such as ours, it was both comfortable and refreshing to have someone look after important succession details.

You definitely provide “Trusted Advice, Outstanding Service”. It is always a pleasure to work with you and to recommend you to others.
