Richmond Estates and the Vancouver Registry

Richmond has a Provincial Court on Elmbridge Way, but it does not hear Supreme Court estate matters. Probate and estate litigation for Richmond families are filed at the Vancouver Law Courts on Smithe Street. Our Kerrisdale office on West Boulevard is the practical base for Richmond clients; it sits just across the Oak Street Bridge, a shorter trip than heading downtown. Whether the estate involves farmland in east Richmond, a Steveston property or a strata unit near the city centre, the probate steps are the same: apply to the Vancouver registry, clear the wills notice search, and account to the beneficiaries.
