A Montréal firm dedicated entirely to estate, inheritance, and fiduciary matters.
Northbridge Fiduciary was founded on a simple premise: estate law deserves a firm's full attention, not a corner of a general practice. Under the leadership of founding partner Jonathan Michael Oswalt, the firm works exclusively in wills, trusts, probate, and inheritance matters — for individuals, families, and executors across Québec and Canada.
Our name reflects what we do: Northbridge, the connection between generations, and Fiduciary, the duty of trust at the centre of every file we handle. Whether we are drafting a first will, advising an executor through probate, or representing a beneficiary in a contested estate, that duty shapes every decision we make.
Jonathan Michael Oswalt opens the firm in Montréal with a single focus: wills and estate planning for Québec families and property owners.
As clients' needs evolved beyond planning, the firm builds dedicated practice groups in probate administration and contested estate litigation.
Northbridge Fiduciary now advises on planning, administration, litigation, powers of attorney, and cross-border estates, while keeping every client's file close and personal.
We advise plainly, even when the honest answer is not the easy one. An estate plan is only as good as the judgment behind it.
Family and financial matters stay confidential by default. Nothing about your file is discussed beyond the people you authorize.
We think of estate planning as ongoing care, not a single transaction — revisiting plans as families, assets, and laws change.
"Our clients don't come to us for paperwork. They come to us to make sure the people they love are protected — clearly, and for good."Jonathan Michael Oswalt, Founding Partner
