Sea to Sky Law advises only on British Columbia law. Clients who also have a legal matter in the United States or another province are encouraged to work with a lawyer there, and the firm will coordinate with that lawyer on the British Columbia side. The firm does not give tax advice and works with qualified accountants when tax questions arise.
Consultations are by phone or secure video. All meetings are by appointment only. Staff are always happy to welcome and help drop-in visitors, but it is best to make an appointment in advance to confirm the office is not closed.
Family law in British Columbia is governed mainly by the provincial Family Law Act, which applies to married and unmarried couples who separate, and by the federal Divorce Act for couples who were legally married. Family matters are heard in the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Decisions about children are guided by the best interests of the child.
Estate planning in British Columbia includes a will, an enduring power of attorney, a representation agreement and up-to-date beneficiary designations. When someone dies, the executor named in the will applies for probate in the Supreme Court of British Columbia where needed, pays debts and distributes the estate to beneficiaries.
British Columbia businesses may operate as sole proprietorships, partnerships or corporations under the Business Corporations Act. Written agreements for contracts, shareholders, employment and independent contractors help prevent disputes.
