Background

About Aileen Battye

I work with select business owner and high net worth clients of RBC to help them develop and plan for their philanthropic legacies. My passion is to help clients to understand their current planning, work with them to craft a plan that reflects their needs, wants, and desires and help them to move towards implementing these plans with their own professionals. Prior to joining RBC Wealth Management, I practiced law in both Vancouver and Toronto, specializing in estate and trust planning, and tax litigation. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of British Columbia in and graduated from Dalhousie Law School in 2003. I was called to the Bars in both British Columbia and Ontario in 2004. I have achieved my TEP designation from STEP (The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), have completed the In-depth Tax Issues for the Owner-managed Business course and all three levels of the In-depth Tax course through the CPA. I feel that it is important to give back to the community, and am a consummate volunteer. I am the past Chair of the Vancouver Branch Executive of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), and Secretary of STEP Canada. I volunteer as a member of the Development Committee of the Vancouver Foundation. I served 9 years as Trustee of the YMCA of Greater Vancouver Foundation, and 4 on the Board of my community paddling club.
