BC Legal Checkup — Preventive Legal Advice
Family · Estate · Business Law Review
Like a visit to the dentist, seeing your lawyer twice a year for a checkup is far cheaper, far less stressful, and far more effective than waiting until a problem becomes a crisis.
The same logic applies to your legal life. Most of the costly, stressful legal disputes that families, individuals, and business owners face are entirely preventable — if someone had looked at the documents, the relationships, and the changing circumstances at the right moment.
Legal Checkup with Sea to Sky Law™
does exactly that. Twice a year, we review your family law agreements, estate documents, and business arrangements — catching issues early, updating what's outdated, and giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you're protected.
The most common legal crises we see
— outdated wills naming former spouses, expired support orders, parenting plans that no longer fit the children's lives, shareholder agreements that don't reflect the business — were all preventable. All of them.
That's all it takes to stay ahead of life's legal changes — by phone, video, from our BC locations, with Head Office in Sapperton, the original Sapper Town, New Westminster.
Family law, estate law, and business law are deeply connected — especially after a major life event. We look at all three together.
A Legal Checkup is not just for people in crisis. It is for people who are thoughtful enough to know that life changes — and that their legal documents need to change with it.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In law, it's worth considerably more than that.
Andrew Liggett — Founding Lawyer, Sea to Sky Law™
Available by phone or video by phone or secure video — across all of British Columbia. All meetings are by appointment, by phone or secure video, including Head Office in Sapperton, New Westminster. Our staff are always happy to welcome and help visitors who drop in, but it is best to make an appointment in advance so we can confirm the office is not closed for any reason.
Sea to Sky Law™ has been helping BC families, individuals, and businesses stay legally protected since 1991. A Legal Checkup is the smartest investment you can make in your family's future.
A Legal Checkup does not constitute legal advice and does not create a solicitor-client relationship until a retainer agreement is signed. The Law Society of BC requires ID verification and a conflict check before any lawyer can advise you.
Review your separation agreement, parenting plan, support orders, and cohabitation or marriage contracts. Life changes — your legal documents should keep up.
Parenting plan no longer reflects children's needs
Support amount hasn't kept pace with income changes
Review your will, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designations. Most BC residents don't know their documents are outdated until it's too late.
Beneficiary designations still name a former spouse
New assets — real estate, business, investments — not covered
Review shareholder agreements, partnership arrangements, employment contracts, and corporate structure. Prevent costly disputes before they begin.
Shareholder agreement hasn't been reviewed in years
Business growing — corporate structure needs review
Catching legal issues early — before they become disputes — costs a fraction of what it takes to resolve them in court.
A Legal Checkup costs a fraction of what a single court application costs.
Six months between visits is enough to catch most emerging issues before they escalate.
Contact our intake manager to schedule your Legal Checkup — typically 45–60 minutes by phone, video, from our multiple BC locations, including Head Office in Sapperton, New Westminster.
Andrew Liggett or a Sea to Sky Law™ lawyer reviews your current documents, life circumstances, and any changes since your last visit — across family, estate, and business law as relevant.
You leave with a plain-language summary of what's working, what's outdated, and what — if anything — needs to change. No surprises. No pressure. Just clarity.
We recommend two checkups per year. Like a dental visit, the goal is prevention — so that when life changes, your legal protection changes with it.
A proactive one-hour legal review identifying hidden risks in your family law, estate, and business situation before they become expensive problems. Serving all of BC.

Parenting plans and support orders need to reflect the children's actual lives, not the arrangement made five years ago.
Cohabitation agreements, marriage contracts, and estate updates protect everyone — and prevent the disputes that end too many relationships.
Corporate documents age fast. Shareholder agreements, employment contracts, and business succession plans need regular review.
Separation creates immediate estate vulnerabilities. Your will, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations need urgent review.
Powers of attorney, representation agreements, and estate plans are most effective when prepared before they're needed.
Knowing your legal house is in order is one of the most valuable things you can do for yourself and your family.
