Courtney AuBuchon

When you are facing an estate dispute or navigating the complexities of BC’s legal system, you don’t just need a lawyer—you need a steady hand and a direct line of communication.

I am Courtney AuBuchon, a Kamloops-based sole practitioner. Unlike larger firms where your file might be passed between junior associates, I personally oversee every aspect of your case. Since being called to the British Columbia Bar in 2010, I have dedicated my practice to helping individuals and families in the Thompson-Nicola region resolve high-stakes legal conflicts with precision and empathy.

My Legal Philosophy: Strategic, Client-Focused Solutions

Most of my work revolves around the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA). Whether you are an executor overwhelmed by the probate process at the Kamloops registry, or a family member who has been unfairly disinherited, I provide the strategic advocacy required to protect your interests.

My background in Psychology (University of Calgary, 2002) gives me a unique vantage point in estate litigation. I understand that these cases aren’t just about assets—they are often about long-standing family dynamics. I strive to reach resolutions that protect your financial future without causing unnecessary emotional burnout.

Estate Administration & Disputes: Representing Executors, Beneficiaries & Disinherited Family Members

A significant portion of my practice is dedicated to estate administration and estate dispute resolution. I represent:

• Executors navigating probate and estate duties
• Beneficiaries seeking fair treatment and transparency
• Disinherited children or spouses pursuing claims under the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA)

From standard probate and estate administration to will challenges to asset distribution conflicts, I provide clear legal guidance and strong advocacy every step of the way.

Specialized Support for the Kamloops Building Community

Beyond the estate world, I maintain a focused practice in Construction Law. I represent local builders, contractors, and homeowners dealing with:

• Builders Liens: Filing, discharging, and enforcement.

• Contract Disputes: Addressing non-payment or deficiency claims.

• Project Resolution: Moving past stalemates so you can get back to work.

Where Experience Meets Results

I am a litigator at heart, with a track record of success across all levels of court in our province:

• BC Provincial Court

• BC Supreme Court

• BC Court of Appeal

While I am a fierce advocate in the courtroom, I am also a proponent of Mediation. Litigation is a powerful tool, but it isn’t always the most efficient path. I offer mediation services to help parties reach sensible, cost-effective settlements that keep them out of the witness stand.
