What is an Early Intervention Case Conference (EICC)? As Courts continue to be overburdened with very high demand and limited available court time, the Court has introduced forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution to provide parties with avenues to reach resolution outside of the standard court procedures, thereby freeing up court resources for those matters that cannot be resolved elsewhere. One of these alternatives developed by Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench is the Early ...Intervention Case Conference, or EICC. The goal of the EICC program is to have appropriate issues diverted early to a mediation-like setting to encourage fulsome settlement discussions between the parties, as well as to discuss alternative avenues that may be more appropriate for the matter to proceed than through the standard court processes. The EICC program started as a trial program in 2017 for two years. At the end of the trial period, the Court of Queen’s Bench extended the program and EICC’s continue to be a popular avenue to seek resolution of family law matters in Calgary and Edmonton. #FamilyLawAttorney #alternativedisputeresolution #yeglawyer

What happens if I die without a will in Alberta? It’s okay, my family can decide how to proceed. -We hear this too often and well, actually that’s not the truth. If you die without a will the Wills and Succession Act of Alberta decides how your property is distributed.... The Wills and Succession Act does not know you nor consider your personal situation. So, if you don’t have a will someone (you don’t choose) will follow an order of how everything is divided and distributed based on a provincial law. If you want to make these choices yourself, you need to make a will. Then you can be assured that your wishes will be followed. Call us today if you would like to receive a quote on getting your will done. 780-577-9693 [email protected]
