The Most Trusted Wills & Estate Lawyers in Toronto
At Costa Law our experienced wills and estate lawyers offer the strategic planning and creative solutions required to manage and preserve your assets. Estate planning represents the process by which an individual prepares and arranges for the disposition of an estate during his or her lifetime. A Will is the last declaration of your wishes that can range from how your estate will be distributed to who will have guardianship of your children.
A properly drafted Will can eliminate future uncertainties over the administration of property, financial assets, taxes, and other expenses associated with an estate. Without a properly drafted Will, the law of intestacy applies and will decide on how your property and assets will be handled and divided, which means that you lose significant control over the process. Where children are involved, a Public Trustee may also be appointed to govern care and control over them. A properly drafted Will can give you a peace of mind knowing that those you care about are taken care of.
Powers Of Attorney And Estate Protection
Preparing powers of attorney is an important part of any comprehensive estate plan. These legal documents allow someone you trust to make financial or personal care decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself. We explain your options clearly, prepare legally valid documents, and ensure your wishes are accurately reflected while helping protect your interests and providing peace of mind for you and your family.

Immigration Law
Immigration lawyer marketing services sometimes refer immigration lawyers as someone who can help you immigrate merely. But in reality immigration law refers to any statutes, regulations, and precedent that governs the immigration and deportation to and from a country. The main body of law that governs immigration in Canada is the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). This Act was introduced in 2002 and concerns the rights and responsibilities of all foreign nationals who are admitted to Canada, as well as the conditions of their removal.
Because the Act is the main body of law that governs immigration in Canada it is important to obtain legal counsel has exceptional knowledge of the Act and all its provisions, and extensive experience arguing immigration cases before all levels of the court. Every decision the immigration court makes about your case will have a substantial impact on your life both in the present and in the future. Here at Costa Law we understand that, which is why we have put together a team of some of the best immigration lawyers in Toronto to help make Canada your home.
