Struan Smith, LLB, TEP
Director, Trust & Estates
As Director, Trust & Estates, I realize the importance of knowing your personal and financial affairs are in order. My goal is to provide you and your family with confidence and peace of mind regarding your estate plan. Administering an estate, trust, or acting as an attorney for property is time consuming and requires a knowledge of many specialized areas. My team and I have the expertise to execute or assist others with the execution of those roles effectively and efficiently, thereby relieving the burden of the administration from those appointed and allowing them to focus on what matters most.
