Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Is a foreign Will valid in Ontario?

This depend on the Will itself. Some factors to consider are:

    1. Does the Will intend to apply to property in Ontario?

    2. Can the words of the Will be interpreted conclusively?

    3. Does the Will deal with the property in a way that is legal in Ontario?

If the court is satisfied with the answers to all of these questions, and an executor has already been appointed outside Ontario, it may grant that executor the right to administer the deceased's property in Ontario too.

Simran Bakshi on Employment Law: What is an Employment Contract?

Your employment contract will contain basic provisions as to your job duties and compensation.

It may also include non-solicitation clauses, non-competition clauses, and termination provisions.

Those are the types of provisions you definitely want to review carefully and you can and you should obtain legal advise to assist you.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What happens if I die without a Last Will?

If you die without a Last Will in Ontario, the Succession Law Reform Act provides for how your property is distributed after your death.

If you have a spouse, everything is left to your spouse. If you have spouse and children, everything is left to your spouse and children. If you don't have a spouse or children, everything is divided between your closest living family members.
