    Pitt Meadows estate matters, served from New Westminster

    Pitt Meadows lies between the Pitt River and Maple Ridge, north of the Fraser and its stretch of Pitt Polder farmland. From our New Westminster office at 26 Fourth Street it’s roughly a 25 to 35 minute drive over the Pitt River Bridge. Onyx Law Group doesn’t have a Pitt Meadows office, so we meet local clients in New Westminster or work remotely when that suits them better.

    Estate files for Pitt Meadows are usually opened at the New Westminster Supreme Court registry, with the Port Coquitlam registry a closer option since it began full service in 2025. When someone dies without a will, the Wills, Estates and Succession Act decides who inherits. A surviving spouse takes a set preferential share first, and the remainder is split between the spouse and the deceased’s children. Working out those shares, and who has the right to administer the estate, is one of the more common questions we get from families here.
