Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Adoptive Children
What are the legal rights of adopted children when a parent - biological or adoptive - passes away? If the Will makes a gift to "my children", does that include adopted children?
Under Ontario law, legally adopted children are generally presumed to have the same rights as biological children for estate purposes.
A testator still has the freedom to make gifts and leave inheritances and specify that they are only for certain, specified children, if she chooses, so the question may depend on interpreting what the deceased intended and the wording of the Will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Providing for Guardianship of your Children in your Last Will
You can definitely name somebody in your last will to have
custody and guardianship of your minor children in the event both of the
parents pass away.
Now, the appointment you make in you last will is temporary.
That person will eventually need to apply to the court to be appointed as a
permanent guardian. But, when they make that application, the court will look
very closely on who you named in your last will, and factor that in the
decision about who should be the permanent guardian of your children.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is the difference between a Last Will and a Power of Attorney? Do I need both?
A Last Will only determines what happens to your property after you have passed.
A Power of Attorney is used to appoint someone to manage your property and your medical care if you are incapable. It is no longer valid after death.
In some ways, having an Attorney who can protect you while you are still living is even more important that having a will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is an Executor?
What is an Executor?
An Executor is the person who’s the
legal representative of your Estate.
After you die, your Executor is responsible
for taking all of the assets and properties that you own and distributing it to
your heirs.
If you’re thinking about who should be your Executor, you want to
name a person who is responsible, organized, a good communicator, and who keeps
their head in a difficult emotional situation, and if you can pick somebody who
lives in Ontario.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: How important is it to have a Will if you are in your 30s and don’t have many assets?
Having a Last Will is still important, even if you are young. There is no better way to provide for your family and your future.
You can create a Last Will to plan ahead for a time when you have increased assets or a larger family. Now is always a good time, because your life is only going to get more hectic!

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: 4 Things to Think About When Making a Last Will
If you're making the Last Will there are 4 things that you
should think about.
1. 1. Who do I want to leave my property to after I
pass away?
2. 2. Who's the person that I want to appoint to take
care of all of my property and affairs after I die?
3. 3. You need to think about any responsibilities you
have to your loved ones to care for them after you die. Think children, think
elderly parents.
4.
Once you put your mind to all of that, you'll
get in contact with the lawyer and the lawyer will help you write your last
will.
