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: What are the legal rights of adopted children when a parent - biological or adoptive - passes away?


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: 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.

Who do I want to leave my property to after I pass away?

2.     Who's the person that I want to appoint to take care of all of my property and affairs after I die?

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.

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 It is no longer valid after death.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.
