Whaley Estate Litigation Welcomes a New Member to Its Team
June 22, 2012
Benjamin D. Arkin is an associate in the law firm of Whaley Estate Litigation. He practices exclusively in the areas of estates, trust, capacity, fiduciary and power of attorney litigation. He represents beneficiaries, trustees, executors, powers of attorney, individuals found to be incapable of handling their own property or personal care, and their family members.
Ben is an experienced negotiator and helps his clients to resolve their disputes at the earliest possible stage in discussions and mediations with the other parties. He also represents his clients before the Ontario courts in motions, trials and appeals.
Before joining Whaley Estate Litigation, Ben split his practice equally between estate litigation and family law. He is sensitive to the legal and practical impacts of separation, divorce, child support, spousal support, child custody and other family law issues in trusts, estate and capacity matters.
Ben studied law at the University of Toronto after obtaining his B. Sc. (Hons.) in mechanical engineering at Queens University.
