About Probate Ally

We want to be your ally

We turn grieving family members and close friends into competent executors; we help them apply to the court for a “grant of probate” (an official document confirming the executor's right to act and that the will is legally valid); and we equip them with a simple and practical checklist to finish the job painlessly, properly, and efficiently.

Advice personalized for you

No two estates are the same. No two executors are the same. Whether you’d like us to guide you step by step through probate or just want a little help with your court forms, we can work with you.

We remove barriers so you can get the job done right

We're a virtual law firm licensed in British Columbia. If you need probate in BC, we can help you wherever you live and accommodate your busy schedule. This means you can save time and money.

Agreed cost up front so you know what to expect from start to finish

We don’t want you to worry that you’re going to get a big legal bill from us. This is why we don’t charge by the hour, we don’t take a percentage of the estate’s total value, and we don’t charge any hidden fees. Before we start working with you, we’ll agree on the cost of our help.

About Sasha Nowicki

Sasha Nowicki - Founder & Principal Lawyer, Probate Ally Law Corporation

Founder & Lawyer

I'm the founder and principal lawyer behind Probate Ally, a law firm based in British Columbia. I've been a lawyer for over 20 years, having worked in a large national law firm, a medium sized firm, and now my own small firm.

When my mother-in-law died unexpectedly, I saw how hard it was for my husband and his sister to be suddenly responsible for taking care of her estate while trying to process their sudden loss. Neither of them was prepared for the job or had any experience with the responsibilities of an executor. If I didn't have years of experience helping executors, I would have been just as confused and overwhelmed as they were. I was grateful to ease their administrative burden so they could focus on grieving. This is why I started Probate Ally – to offer personalized support and care for families like my husband's.

I've helped executors from all walks of life, including:

accountants, administrative assistants, business owners, carpenters, doctors, farmers, financial advisors, lawyers, loggers, pharmacists, retirees, teachers, and truck drivers;
spouses, children, grandchildren, friends, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and parents;
professionals who work for trust companies that have been appointed executor; and
executors who live outside of British Columbia.
