Lawyers & Notaries
Richmond solicitor's office concentrating almost entirely on estates: wills, powers of attorney, representation agreements, probate and estate administration, plus wills-variation claims and elder law. Thirty-plus years at the same narrow specialty.
Estate work is the kind of law where specialisation is worth paying for, because the mistakes surface after the person who made them is gone. A general practitioner can write you a will. Someone who does almost nothing else will ask the questions a generalist does not think to ask, about second marriages, about the child who was lent money for a down payment, about the property in another province.
This office concentrates on that narrow band: wills, powers of attorney, representation agreements, probate and estate administration, plus wills-variation claims and elder law. Wills variation is worth knowing about if you live in BC, because this province allows a spouse or child to challenge a will that does not make adequate provision for them, which is not the case everywhere in Canada and reliably surprises people who assume a will is the final word. If you intend to leave your children unequal shares, get advice on how to do it in a way that holds up.
Voyageur Way sits in the office and light-industrial pocket of east Richmond off Bridgeport Road, which makes it straightforward to reach by car from Vancouver as well as from anywhere on the island. It is not a walk-in part of town. Book an appointment and bring the documents that matter: property titles, any existing will, and a list of accounts. Expect a planning conversation rather than a general legal shop that does a bit of everything, and expect to be asked about family circumstances you may not have thought were relevant.
In the East Cambie neighbourhood of Richmond.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
