What types of legal services does Ramsay Legal Counsel handle for seniors and families? +
Reviewers mention wills, powers of attorney, probate applications, grants of administration, and estate planning as common services used. The firm also assisted with home purchases and corporate matters in some cases. Several families used the firm specifically after a spouse's passing to update legal documents.
How affordable are the fees compared to other law firms? +
Multiple reviewers describe the rates as competitive, reasonable, or the lowest they could find for probate services. One reviewer noted that the quoted cost at initial consultation closely matched the final bill.
Has the firm worked with clients who have health challenges or mobility limitations? +
At least one reviewer noted that the firm was accommodating to a parent's disabilities, and another mentioned that Dan met a client while they were in hospital. The firm appears willing to make arrangements for clients who cannot easily travel.
What should families know about communication during probate or estate processes? +
Several reviewers reported slow or inconsistent communication, including unanswered emails and delays in filing, particularly during periods of staff turnover. Families are advised to follow up regularly and confirm the status of filings in writing.
Is a surviving spouse automatically named as executor under wills prepared by this firm? +
At least one reviewer reported their spouse was not listed as executor due to the online intake form lacking that field, and received incorrect verbal assurances that a spouse is automatically executor under Alberta law. Families should confirm executor designations explicitly in the final will documents.
