Veronica joined Onyx Law Group as an Associate Counsel in 2021. She practices exclusively in the areas of estates and trusts.
Veronica thrives on helping individuals and families navigate seemingly complex estate planning and administration matters. In her estate planning practice, she helps clients create estate plans that effectively transfer wealth and guard against future incapacity, disability or other changes in circumstance. She regularly assists clients with the following:
Wills
Powers of Attorney
Representation Agreements (for health care)
Bare Trust Agreements and Deeds of Gift
Plans to transfer real estate
Alter Ego Trusts and Joint Partner Trusts
Disability Trusts
In her probate and administration practice, she works with clients who have been named executor in a will, who seek to be appointed administrator of an estate, or who are named trustee of a trust. She advises her clients each step of the way and helps them to navigate the probate and administration process from the moment an individual passes away until the estate or trust can be distributed and wound up. Her practice also involves working with out-of-country executors and administrators who wish to have their foreign estate grants recognized in British Columbia.
Prior to becoming an estates solicitor, Veronica trained as a litigator at a boutique firm in Toronto and as a corporate banker for a Canadian bank.
Veronica and her husband reside in the Okanagan where they enjoy outdoor activities and drinking wine.
We were made to feel valued and heard. Integrity, competence and a passion for justice definitely describes Onyx. They are also caring, compassionate and have a good sense of humour.
Thanks to Onyx’s straightforward approach, this litigation was resolved with the best outcome for myself and my children. Although this ordeal was emotionally trying, we can get on with our lives, without added worry and stress.
I chose the right law firm and I know our future is on the proper course because of Onyx. I wouldn’t hesitate to tell anyone who needs good legal representation to take my words to heart.
