Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Estate Tax

There are 3 basic ways in which most simple Estates may be required to pay taxes.

1.      If all or part of your state is being submitted to Probate, you'll need to pay what's called an Estate Administration Tax on that portion.

2.      If you have to sell property or shares in a corporation, your state may need to pay Capital Gains Tax on the proceeds from the sale of that property.

3.      Lastly your Estate will need to file a tax return for the year in which you die until your Estate is wrapped up and all of the money is paid out.

Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: Can a Temporary Layoff Be Considered a Termination of Employment?

Temporary layoffs of employment may not be permitted unless there is an employment contract that specifically permits such layoffs. 

In most circumstances, legally permitted layoffs can only last:

1. Not more than 13 weeks of layoff in any period of 20 consecutive weeks, or
   
   
2. More than 13 weeks in any period of 20 consecutive weeks, but less than 35 weeks of layoff in any period of 52 consecutive weeks if the employer continues benefit payments or makes other substantial payment to the employee during the layoff.

If you have been laid off without contractual authorization, or if you have not been recalled by your employer within these required timeframes, you may be entitled to treat the layoff as a termination and to claim compensation for wrongful dismissal.

Seek legal advice to determine your rights and entitlements if you have been laid off.

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.

Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: What is the Role of The Office of The Children's Lawyer (OCL) in Ontario Family Law Matters?

In difficult parenting cases, a Court may request that the Office of the Children’s Lawyer (OCL) become involved to investigate and make recommendations to the Court or to provide legal representation for a child.

The OCL is an Ontario government agency that employs lawyers and social workers.

It works to provide independent information to the Court about a child’s needs, wishes and legal interests.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is Probate?

When you name a person in your last will to be the Executor of your Estate, that person sometimes needs to also apply to the Court to be appointed formally as the legal representative of your Estate in order to deal with certain property that you own, potentially like a house or a bank account that solely in your name. 

The process of applying to Court to be appointed as the representative of your Estate is what we call Probate.

Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: Mediation of Parenting Disputes in Ontario

Many parental disputes in Ontario Family Law matters are now resolved through Mediation, rather than court action.

Mediators work with parents to create parenting plans and residency schedules that are tailor-made to provide for children’s needs and for joint parenting. 

Both parties must  obtain independent legal advice to finalize any agreement reached in Mediation.
