When was the last time you reviewed your estate plan?

As we head toward the end of the year and the holiday season gets busier, October can be a good time for an estate planning check-up.

If you’ve experienced a major life change, welcomed a new family member, bought or sold property, changed your family or financial circumstances, or simply haven’t looked at your documents in a few years, it may be time for a review.

A current estate plan can help ensure your wishes are clearly documented and still reflect your life today.

Before the year gets away from you, consider adding your will and estate planning documents to your fall checklist.

Pritchard & Co. can help with wills and estate planning in Medicine Hat and throughout Southern Alberta.

Today, we honour the Survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and the families and communities who continue to live with the impacts of the residential school system.

Pritchard & Co. acknowledges that we live and work on Treaty 7 territory, neighbouring Treaty 4 territory, on lands with deep and enduring connections to Indigenous Peoples.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an opportunity to listen, learn and reflect on the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools, and on the responsibility we all share in advancing reconciliation.

Today and throughout the year, we encourage our community to continue learning from Indigenous voices, histories and experiences.

Not every dispute needs to end up in court. But getting early legal advice can make a significant difference.

Whether you are dealing with a contract dispute, unpaid invoices, a real estate conflict, employment issue, or another civil matter, understanding your rights early can help protect your position and avoid costly mistakes.

At Pritchard & Co., we take a practical, resolution-focused approach to civil litigation. While we are fully prepared to advocate in court when necessary, we also help clients explore negotiation, mediation, and other efficient paths toward resolution.

If you are involved in a dispute you cannot resolve on your own, our team is here to help you move forward with confidence.

Peace doesn’t always mean the absence of disagreement. Sometimes, it means finding a constructive way through it.

In law, conflict can arise during some of life’s most difficult and uncertain moments. While not every dispute can be resolved without litigation, respectful communication, thoughtful negotiation and a willingness to seek common ground can often help create a path forward.

On the International Day of Peace, we recognize the value of dialogue, understanding and peaceful resolution, in our communities and around the world.

Planning ahead for your business? Don’t forget the legal side.

As businesses settle back into routine this fall and start looking toward year-end and the year ahead, it can be a good time to review whether the legal foundations of your business still reflect where you are today.

That might mean reviewing contracts and agreements, updating corporate records, considering changes in ownership, planning for succession, or addressing legal matters that have been sitting on the to-do list.

Businesses change. Relationships change. Plans change. Your legal documents may need to change with them.

At Pritchard & Co., we work with business owners to provide practical legal guidance that helps them plan ahead, address potential issues and make informed decisions about what comes next.

Charged with impaired driving in Alberta. What happens next?

An impaired driving charge can bring both immediate consequences and a lot of uncertainty about what comes next.

One of the most important first steps is understanding the case against you and your legal options.

A criminal defence lawyer can review the circumstances surrounding the traffic stop, arrest and testing procedures, obtain and assess the disclosure provided by the Crown, and help identify potential issues with the evidence or how it was obtained.

Every impaired driving case is different, and the available options will depend on the specific facts.

At Pritchard & Co., our criminal defence lawyers can help you understand the process, your rights and the options available to you.

Putting people first.

Legal matters can be complex, but the experience of working with a lawyer shouldn’t leave you feeling unheard or uncertain.

At Pritchard & Co., our vision is to create a legal practice where people come first. Where clients feel heard, respected and empowered to make informed decisions about the matters that affect their lives, families and businesses.

That means taking the time to listen, explaining your options clearly and providing practical legal guidance with your individual circumstances in mind.

Because good legal service is about more than understanding the law. It’s about understanding the people we serve.

Grounded in Tradition. Driven by People.

What is probate, and when is it needed?

When someone passes away, the person responsible for administering their estate may need legal authority before they can deal with certain assets, accounts or property.

Probate is the court process used to formally recognize a Will and confirm the executor’s authority to act on behalf of the estate. If there is no Will, a court application may instead be required to appoint someone to administer the estate.

The process can involve preparing detailed court documents, gathering information about the estate and beneficiaries, and ensuring the application meets Alberta’s legal requirements.

At Pritchard & Co., we help make that process more manageable.

Our lawyers can prepare and file the documents required to apply for a Grant of Probate or Grant of Administration, guide you through the steps involved, and help you understand your responsibilities when administering an estate.

If you’ve been named as an executor or are dealing with the estate of someone who has passed away, you don’t have to navigate the process alone.

Our family law services include:

• Divorce and separation
• Parenting time and decision-making
• Child and spousal support
• Division of family property
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
• Adoption and guardianship

When possible, we work toward practical resolutions that minimize unnecessary conflict. When court is necessary, we’re prepared to advocate for your interests.

You don’t have to figure out every next step on your own.
