Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: How much are Ontario Probate Fees?


Ontario’s probate fees are $250 for the first $50,000 of an estate’s value and $15 for each additional $1,000.

These fees are properly referred to as Estate Administration Taxes. 

These taxes typically must be paid at the Court when an Application is filed for the appointment of an Estate Trustee to administer an Estate.

Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: What are the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines?


The Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG) assist Ontario Courts in determining the entitlement, amount, and duration of spousal support payable by a spouse in Family Law proceedings.

The Guidelines consider the duration of the marriage, age, and income of the parties, any child support obligations and other relevant factors in determining spousal support obligations.

Legal professionals utilize software based on the Guidelines to calculate the range of possible spousal support entitlements that may be awarded.

Ontario’s Courts are required to consider the SSAG’s and to provide reasons for any decision that departs from them.

Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: How Does Marriage Affect Your Existing Will?


When a person is married in Ontario, the marriage automatically revokes a prior Last Will made by that person.

The sole exception to this rule is a Last Will that is specifically made in anticipation of an upcoming marriage to a specific person.

If you are marrying, seek legal advice as to any changes that are required to update your existing will and to ensure your will is valid.

Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: Separating from your Spouse in Ontario


Ontario Family Law recognizes separation of spouses who intend to live separate and apart even if they don't immediately live in separate residences.

Many couples live separate and apart “under one roof,” following marital separation, and do not immediately physically separate by changing residency. 

Legal advice should be obtained as to whether a separation has occurred that would be recognized under Ontario law.

Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: Did you sign a non-competition agreement?


If your employment agreement prohibits you from competing with your employer or soliciting its customers after you leave, those restrictions may not be enforceable.

Non-competition agreements are generally unenforceable against Ontario employees.

Many non-solicitation agreements may also be unenforceable.
