Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Can I make my own Will using an online form?

Beware. If you use an online form instead of a lawyer:

1. You aren’t getting personalized advice from a lawyer who has assessed your needs and interests. 
2. Nobody is proofreading the document to ensure it is error free, and captures your intentions accurately. 
3. Sadly, many online will forms include mistakes -  some that could adversely affect the interpretation of the Will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: When should you make a Will?

The best time to time to prepare your Last Will is “right now.”

The end product is only half the benefit. You also benefit from taking stock of all your assets and responsibilities and from planning how you’d like to take care of your loved ones.

When you talk with a lawyer about your Will, you will get advice and clarity about these concerns and the steps you need to take to keep your affairs in order. There is no more important way to provide for your family and your future.

Simran Bakshi on Family Law: Simran Bakshi on Family Law: Spouses reminded that there are no free lunches when it comes to Property acquired during a Common Law Relationship

The Court of Appeal in Walters v Nusseiri, 2020 ONCA 615 affirmed that a common law spouse who does not contribute towards a property, may not have an entitlement to it, irrespective of how legal title may be held. This decision is a reminder that though common law spouses may not have statutory entitlements to the equalization of property, equitable trust principles remain in place for their protection.
