20 Years of Wise Law Blog

Time won't permit an epic post, recapping our entire two decades through the law-blawgosphere that was (and could have been), but it's been fun and challenging and busy and a never-ending eye-opener.  

Glad to say we'll have made it to the twenty year mark tomorrow.  

Thanks to all who have been reading and following, and special thanks to Joy and Rachel and all of our lawyers who have contributed over the years.

Happy 20th Blawgversary, Wise Law Blog.  

Do you think that means it's about time we got a real job?

Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: Holograph Wills in Ontario


For an Ontario Will to be valid, it must be signed by the testator and be witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries under the Will.

A Holograph Will is an exception to these formal requirements.

Holograph Wills must be entirely handwritten and signed by the testator. No witnesses are required. It will not be valid if any portion of it is typewritten or otherwise not entirely in the testator's handwriting.

Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: How Much am I owed if I am fired?


The amount payable to a wrongfully dismissed employee depends on the length of employment, age, salary, and several other factors.

It can be as much as one month for each year of service, or even more in exceptional circumstances.

You may be entitled to compensation.
