For professional service and knowledgeable advice on Estate Law matters contact Derfel Estate Law

Contact Derfel Estate Law today to speak with a Toronto estate lawyer who will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible resolution to your will, estate, power of attorney, or trusts dispute.

We provide a free 30-minute consultation, and we charge our hourly rates for consultations longer than 30 minutes. If you would like for us to review any documents (for example Wills or Powers of Attorney), we also charge our hourly rates and we will require a minimum retainer of $500 to be held in our trust account.

Please send us the full names of all parties involved in the matter so we can run a conflict check. If there are no conflicts, one of our lawyers will contact you to arrange an initial consultation.

In the event that you wish to retain us to represent you following the consultation, we will require a minimum retainer fee to be held in our trust account of $10,000 but this amount may be higher depending on your legal matter. We look forward to hearing from you and arranging a consultation.

Call us at or contact us using the form.
