Getting Charged with a Criminal Offence Is Stressful
If you or someone that you know has been charged with a criminal offence, navigating through the legal system can be a stressful time in your life.
Dealing with the Criminal Justice System, and specifically, the Police can cause a lot of stress for you and your family. We understand this stress and are here to help you through it.
Getting charged with a criminal offence affects every area of your life and it affects those around you. It carries a stigma within society and puts your character into question.
While the Justice System states that you are innocent until proven guilty, the stigma attached with a person getting charged with an offence is far worse, and you should be careful about how you handle this situation.
We understand that your entire life is on the line when you are facing a criminal conviction. At Shory Law, you are not just a number, you are a priority to us. We act in the best interest of our clients. That means if it’s important to you, it’s important to us.
You do not have to deal with these charges alone. Let us help you through this process to ensure you receive the best outcome for your case.
Every client is our priority, and we will work closely with you to resolve your charges in the best way possible. In dealing with your charges our top priorities are:
Do not let legal fees get in the way of Justice. No one should have to choose between their freedom and being able to take care of their family.
If finances are an issue, talk to us. Let us work with you in coming up with flexible payment plans suited to your needs.
Our criminal defence lawyers have years of experience studying and practising in this area of law. We will communicate with the Police, the Crown, and the Court on your behalf, to ensure the best resolution of your case, effectively and efficiently.
If you are facing a criminal charge, come see one of the lawyers at Shory Law. Let our knowledge and experience guide you and let us help you navigate through the Criminal Justice System.
That is why you must hire a team of highly skilled criminal lawyers, who have an excellent track record of defending people charged with different criminal offenses.
At Shory Law, our wills and estates lawyers can guide you with Estate Planning and Estate Administration.
Our wills and estates lawyers are here to assist you with preparing and drafting:
Wills
A will is a legal document that allows you to:
For a will to be legally enforceable, it needs to clearly state your wishes and eventually be confirmed by the courts. A carefully drafted will would prevent increased estate administration costs in the future. In Alberta, if a person dies without a will (intestate), then the Wills and Succession Act determines the next steps.
Enduring Power of Attorneys
An enduring power of attorney is a legal document that allows a person (the “donor”) to choose a person (the “attorney”) to look after the donor’s legal and financial affairs both before and after the donor becomes incapable of doing so. The Enduring Power of Attorney allows the attorney to deal with financial matters such as the donor’s home, mortgage, bank accounts, debts, bills, and insurance.
Personal Directives
A Personal Directive is a legal document that allows an adult who has capacity (the “maker”) to appoint another adult person (the “agent”) to make personal decisions for him or her at a future time if the maker no longer has the capacity to make them. A Personal Directive allows an agent to plan for non-financial personal matters on behalf of the maker, like medical treatment, residence, carrying on with life support, and other personal activities.
If a family member passes away, or you are a Personal Representative named in a will, you might require a wills and estates lawyer to assist you with you dealing with the deceased’s estate.
Grant of Probate
If a family member passes away and they have left a will, you will have to ask the Court to “probate” the will and give you a Grant of Probate. Applying for a Grant of Probate proves the legality of a will and allows the named Personal Representative to distribute the deceased’s estate and assets to the named beneficiaries.
A Grant of Probate will allow the executor to deal with banks, the Alberta Land Titles office, and other institutions holding assets of the deceased.
Grant of Administration
A Grant of Administration is similar to a Grant of Probate, however, it is the grant that is applied for if a family member passes away without a will or with a will that is not valid. A Grant of Administration will allow an appointed Personal Representative to administer the deceased’s estate.
Based on the Wills and Succession Act, the law determines the priority of who will be named as the Personal Representative of the estate of a person who dies without a will. The Act also governs the beneficiaries for a person who dies intestate (without a will).
