The administration of an estate can be very stressful, due to the emotions associated with death and the degree of attention that is often required to put a deceased's affairs in order. This is where Langevin Morris Smith can provide assistance, both with respect to those roles that specifically require a lawyer's involvement and with respect to providing administrative support, as requested. There is a common misconception that the lawyer who prepared the will must also be the lawyer who advises the estate trustee (formerly known as “the executor”).

In fact, the lawyer who advises the estate trustee is as chosen by the estate trustee, unless there is a provision of the will by which a particular lawyer is appointed.
