×  Wills, probates and estates

Wills, probates, and estates are complicated matters. Families come in all different shapes, sizes and with their own baggage.

If you are making end of life plans and wish to have a strong and precise will or power of attorney, or if you are recently dealing with the loss of a loved one and are now wondering how to probate their will, Klassen and Company can certainly help.

×  Incorporations

Starting a business? selling a business? buying a business? incorporating a company for your personal and business purposes is often the prefferred way to go and usually decreases financial and legal risk over operating a sole proprietorship as your personal self. Klassen and Company has offerred incorporation and corporate annual record services for decades and would be happy to help.

×  Administrative Law

Administrative law deals with all facets of disputes where a public body such as a licensing board, university, union, or other granting agency has issued a private person a citation, fine, prohibition, or other such non-criminal charge or imposition. If you are facing a hearing or a decision by a public body that could impact your ability to grow your business, continue to practice, or to continue in your livelihood, give us a call. This field can be confusing and highly technical.

×  Appeals

Not all decisions of a court can be appealled, not all decisions should be. Appeals are not cheap, they are not fast. But if you have been dealt a court decision from the provincial or supreme court of British Columbia that you are struggling to agree with or have a need to appeal give us a call.
