Del Elgersma

Beacon Law Centre is a British Columbia law firm operating from offices in Sidney and in the Royal Oak area of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, Canada. The firm has been named Trust & Estates Law Firm of the Year in Canada at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, recognising its work guiding clients through the planning and administration of estates. Del Elgersma, who holds a B.A. and J.D., is among the firm's lawyers and a partner in the practice honoured by the award.

The firm sets out its approach in plain terms, promising plain language, up-front pricing and a team clients can trust. It emphasises responsiveness and clear communication, addressing common frustrations with legal services such as delayed callbacks and unclear advice. With more than twenty-five years of experience, the firm frames its role as guiding clients through some of life's most important moments, protecting what they have built and helping them plan for the people they care about.

Trusts and estates form the core of the practice recognised by the award. The firm advises on wills and estate planning, the administration of estates and probate, and the particular challenges of planning for blended families, where competing interests and relationships call for careful structuring. This is work that combines technical legal knowledge with a good deal of sensitivity, since it touches on family, legacy and the wishes people hold for how their affairs should be handled after their lifetime.

Alongside its trusts and estates work, Beacon Law Centre offers real estate law and business law services, allowing it to support clients across connected areas such as the property and business interests that frequently form part of an estate. This breadth means that estate planning can be undertaken with regard to a client's wider circumstances, and that the firm can act as a single, familiar adviser across the different legal matters a family or individual encounters over time.

Rooted in its Vancouver Island communities and built around accessibility and trust, the firm offers the combination of technical estate-planning expertise and approachable client service that this deeply personal area of law demands. Its recognition as Trust & Estates Law Firm of the Year in Canada at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 affirms the reputation Beacon Law Centre has established over more than two decades, and the contribution of lawyers such as Del Elgersma in helping clients protect their assets and provide for those they love.
