Get a will. And get it done right.

Jim Morrison got a will. But he didn't get it right.

Morrison drafted a simple will. It gave his estate to his then partner, Pamela Courson. However, if she passed away within 3 months of Morrison passing away, then, his estate went to his siblings.

Not good drafting as it turned out.

Courson passed away 3 years after Morrison. So Morrison's estate did not go to his siblings. But Courson herself died without a will, a situation called an intestacy. That meant that Morrison's vast estate went to her parents.

Reportedly, Morrison and the Courson parents did not get along. Presumably, Morrison would not have wanted them getting his estate, particularly instead of his siblings. But he had a badly drafted will so that is what happened.

At Pettit and Company, we will draft a will that actually does what you want it to do.

Unlike Jim Morrison.

We are a local community law firm with brick and mortar offices in North Vancouver and Squamish. Our lawyers are proud and contributing members of local communities including North Vancouver, Squamish, Horseshoe Bay, Vancouver, and Whistler. We have deep roots in these communities.

Please feel free to call Amanda Groves at 604-998-0901 to discuss your will and estate planning.

We are here to serve you.

Get a will done.

Jimi Hendrix didn't. When he died in 1970 at age 27, he hadn't done a will.

What followed was 30 plus years of estate and related litigation. First, his father sued successfully for control of the estate. Second, after Jimi's father passed away, his brother sued unsuccessfully for control of the estate which had been given to his sister.

A proper will would have prevented much or all of this litigation.

At Pettit and Company, we practice both wills and estates and estate litigation. In other words, we can draft wills to prevent litigation and ensure our clients' intentions are honoured.

Family law.

Strong, compassionate representation.

At Pettit and Company, our family lawyers are superlative litigators. This allows our lawyers to not only provide sound legal advice, but also help our clients secure just results in court.

Case in point. Recently, one of our clients faced a very serious possible dilemma. He and his ex-spouse and their children lived in a small town in BC. The mother wanted to relocate herself and the children out of province. Our client, who had a good job in BC, either had to give up his job and follow the ex-spouse out of BC in order to have contact with his kids or keep his job but lose contact with his kids.

Pettit and Company family lawyer Janneke Lewis resisted the mother's attempt to relocate the kids out of BC in court. Putting the best interests of the children forward, Janneke went to court and convinced the judge that the best interests of the children were to remain in the small town in BC, with both parents and with the father's strong earnings intact.

It was a very good result for our client.

It was an example of strong, compassionate representation. We bring it to all of our clients.
