Beyond litigation
Planning, property, and business matters handled with care
From Wills and Succession Act planning to Alberta Land Titles closings, IRCC applications, and corporate structuring under the Business Corporations Act — Bhalla Law Offices helps Edmonton and Alberta clients move forward with confidence.
Overview
Not every legal matter involves a courtroom. Many of our clients come to Bhalla Law Offices for forward-looking work: preparing a will, buying a home, sponsoring a family member, or incorporating a business. These matters require careful attention to Alberta and federal law, clear documentation, and practical advice tailored to your circumstances.
Our Wills, Estates & More practice brings together estate planning, residential and commercial real estate, immigration, and business law under one roof. That integration matters — a business sale may involve corporate, tax, and real estate considerations; estate planning often overlaps with property ownership and beneficiary designations.
Based in Edmonton, we serve clients across Alberta with in-person and virtual consultations. Whether you are drafting your first will, closing on a property in the Edmonton region, responding to an IRCC refusal, or setting up a corporation, we explain your options in plain language and guide you through each step.

Frequently asked questions
Not necessarily. Bhalla Law Offices handles both estate planning and real estate matters, which can streamline communication — especially when a property transfer is part of your estate plan or when you are settling an estate that includes real property. We will confirm scope and any conflict considerations at your initial consultation.
Yes. Immigration law is federal and we routinely assist clients across Alberta and Canada by phone and video. IRCC correspondence and submissions are handled electronically, and we can meet virtually to review applications, refusals, or appeal options regardless of where you are located in the province.
Most residential transactions with standard financing close within 30 to 60 days of an accepted offer, though timelines depend on conditions, lender requirements, and Alberta Land Titles processing. We coordinate with your realtor and mortgage broker early to identify issues that could delay registration.
The right time depends on liability exposure, tax planning, ownership structure, and growth plans. Incorporation under the Alberta Business Corporations Act offers limited liability and may provide tax advantages, but it also adds compliance obligations. We review your situation and explain whether incorporation — or an alternative structure — makes sense before you commit.
A will takes effect after death and governs how your estate is distributed. An enduring power of attorney appoints someone to manage your financial affairs if you lose capacity while alive. A personal directive appoints an agent to make personal and health-care decisions on your behalf. In Alberta, all three documents serve different purposes, and most adults benefit from having each reviewed and updated periodically.
