Representing Yourself in CourtHow to Win Your Case on Your Own

Hiring a lawyer can be costly and unnecessary in certain circumstances as you deal with courts, claims, and disputes. Clients dissatisfied with legal representation or eager to save money have turned to self-representation in increasing numbers. This book helps people through the process. Lawyer Devlin Farmer has experience across North America in guid-ing clients to the most affordable, effective solutions, and he shares his advice in this book on how to represent your interests in the courts with the greatest chances of success. There are problems galore in self-representation in court, but this book practically guides you through the process to avoid pitfalls and to give you the most effective chance of success in your case.

In 2011, Devlin joined Brown Hender-son Melbye where his practice is focused on family law. As a member of the bar in two countries, Devlin enjoys assisting clients with a wide spectrum of family law issues. He is committed to helping clients gain access to a fair and transparent legal system and, when appropriate, the non-adversarial resolution of legal conflicts.

Lawyer Martha Rans, an authority on the non-profit sector and the Societies Act, takes you through the challenges of complying with the law to ensure your organiza-tion does not lose its legal and financial status. Her guide is an invaluable resource on how to cope with the changes.

British Columbia Probate Kit - 4th EditionEverything you need to probate or administer an estateWritten in simple, non-technical language, the book demonstrates how to apply for and obtain letters of probate or administration and transfer assets. Step-by-step instructions are given in the book and all the required forms are included on the enclosed CD-ROM (in MS Word and PDF formats). This kit also contains Administration Forms, which are required when the deceased did not have a valid will. When someone has died, it must be proven by a legal process that a will has been validly made and executed. This book demonstrates in easy-to-understand terms how anyone faced with this difficult situation can probate an estate without consulting a lawyer.

This new fourth edition is divided into easy-to-understand sections about probate (with a will), administration (without a will), and administration (with a will that is invalid or incomplete). It features a restructured format for easier understanding of the different procedures for Probate and Administration. Includes the most up-to-date forms and text to reflect the new Wills, Estates and Succession Act.

So You’ve Been Appointed Executor - 3rd Edition

The executor’s job is much more involved than you might initially believe. At its simplest, the executor’s role involves documenting assets of the deceased, paying the bills for the estate, and distributing assets to the rightful beneficiaries. These in themselves are not simple tasks, and there are many more to come. So You’ve Been Appointed Executor gives you an introduction to the predictable and unavoidable issues that each and every executor will face regardless of the size of the estate. This book not only explains what you need to know when you are appointed executor, but it also helps you choose the best executor for your estate. Learn about the eight duties of an executor and how they apply to the estate to which you have been appointed. Also included is information about various estate experts and resources available to you to help make your job as executor easier.

The authors argue there are steps each of us can take to keep our important data out of reach while still participating fully in new technologies. They identify the pitfalls we can make and the small moves that will help us avoid them.

Start & Run a Marijuana Dispensary

As laws change, North Americans are gaining greater legal access to marijuana through local dispensaries. But the rise of the dispensary brings a mountain of challenges.

Your Right to PrivacyMinimize Your Digital FootprintHacking, snooping, and invading are commonplace on the Internet. Your personal infor-mation can be seen and shared and your privacy can be violated. Two veteran journalists, authorities on how information is handled in the digital age, have written a definitive guide to minimize your digital footprint, protect your vital information and prevent it from being misused. The authors argue there are steps each of us can take to keep our important data out of reach while still participating fully in new technologies. They identify the pitfalls we can make and the small moves that will help us avoid them. Their book makes an impor-tant contribution in enforcing our right to privacy at a time when governments, special interests, and others are trying to watch everything we do. Jim and David also co-wrote the SCP book entitled ‘Your Right to Know’

Step by step, Avrum Nadigel demonstrates how to overcome the anxieties and resistance to acquire the skills to build the sustainable bonds of a relation-ship. Learning to Commit is the definitive guide on how to prepare yourself for a successful life-partnership. Whether you are single and yearning or coupled and conflicted, Nadigel’s techniques are reassuring and inspiring in the pursuit of a happier and more durable love.

British Columbia Probate Kit - 4th EditionEverything you need to probate or administer an estateWritten in simple, non-technical language, the book demonstrates how to apply for and obtain letters of probate or administration and transfer assets. Step-by-step instructions are given in the book and all the required forms are included on the enclosed CD-ROM (in MS Word and PDF formats). This kit also contains Administration Forms, which are required when the deceased did not have a valid will. When someone has died, it must be proven by a legal process that a will has been validly made and executed. This book demonstrates in easy-to-understand terms how anyone faced with this difficult situation can probate an estate without consulting a lawyer.

This new fourth edition is divided into easy-to-understand sections about probate (with a will), administration (without a will), and administration (with a will that is invalid or incomplete). It features a restructured format for easier understanding of the different procedures for Probate and Administration.

Also included is information about various estate experts and resources available to you to help make your job as executor easier.

Representing Yourself in CourtHow to Win Your Case on Your Own

Hiring a lawyer can be costly and unnecessary in certain circumstances as you deal with courts, claims, and disputes. Clients dissatisfied with legal representation or eager to save money have turned to self-representation in increasing numbers. This book helps people through the process. Lawyer Devlin Farmer has experience across North America in guid-ing clients to the most affordable, effective solutions, and he shares his advice in this book on how to represent your interests in the courts with the greatest chances of success.

About UsFor more than 44 years, Self-Counsel Press has published high-quality business and reference books and forms kits, written in clear, easily understood language.

Our titles provide readers with reliable information authored by experts. We have two popular business series, Start & Run and Business 101, along with a range of reference books covering topics such as eldercare, personal finance, professional development, immigration, and writing skills.

Our Legal PerspectiveSince 1971, Self-Counsel Press has been delivering the finest do-it-yourself legal books available. You may have seen other books out there that are merely approved by lawyers. That is not good enough for us.

Self-Counsel’s legal titles are written by lawyers who specialize in the subjects about which they write, and who keep informed and up-to-date on changes in legislation so that our books are always current.

Laws are complicated and always changing. Why trust anyone other than a lawyer with your important legal matters?
