Money and family can be a complicated mix.

Before lending a significant amount of money to a family member, taking the time to clearly document the arrangement can help prevent misunderstandings down the road—and protect everyone involved.

A little planning at the beginning can make a big difference later.

An initial consultation is the first step toward understanding your legal options.

It’s a chance to sit down with a lawyer, explain what’s happening, ask questions, and receive preliminary advice specific to your circumstances. From there, you can discuss possible next steps and what moving forward may look like.

Living together doesn't automatically mean the law treats you exactly like a married couple.

Understanding your rights before issues arise can save a lot of stress later

💙 Thank You, SMT Lawyers! 💙

We are incredibly grateful to SMT LAWYERS for their continued support of the Everest Legacy Fund and the EC18 Golf Tournament. This marks their second consecutive year as a sponsor, and we couldn’t be more thankful to have them standing beside our family and our mission.

From the very beginning, SMT Lawyers have been more than just supporters, they’ve been part of our healing journey. Their kindness, generosity, and belief in what we’re building have been a building force in our Foundation.

Last year, they didn’t just support the tournament, they took home the EC18 Challenge Cup as our inaugural champions! 🏆 We know they’ll be back this year, ready to defend their title.

While they are exceptional lawyers, what truly sets them apart is who they are beyond the office. They are parents, neighbours, community members, and people who genuinely care about helping others when they need it most. They understand that strong communities are built by investing in families, supporting one another, and showing up when it matters.

That is exactly what they’ve done for us.

SMT Lawyers have been in many people’s corner through some of life’s most difficult moments, and we’re so grateful to now have them in the corner of the Everest Legacy Fund as we continue creating opportunities for children and families throughout our community.

Thank you, SMT Lawyers, for believing in Everest’s legacy, believing in family, and believing in the power of community. 💙⛳️
