Estate Work in Our Own Backyard

New Westminster is one of the few Metro Vancouver cities with a Supreme Court registry of its own, the Law Courts at Begbie Square on Carnarvon Street, which handle probate and estate litigation for much of the Fraser region. Our office at 26 Fourth Street is a short walk from that courthouse, so for New Westminster clients the whole file, from the first probate application to a contested hearing, stays within a few blocks. That proximity helps when a matter needs same-day filing or a quick appearance before a registrar.
