Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What are the Legal Rights of 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.

Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: Marriage Contracts in Ontario


Marriage contracts, also known as pre-nuptial agreements, enable spouses to privately determine how issues relating to their property and support will be resolved if they separate in the future.

To ensure the enforceability of a marriage contract, both parties must make full financial disclosure to each other, receive independent legal advice and execute the agreement freely and voluntarily.

Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: The Duty to Accommodate Disability in the Workplace


Every Ontario employer has a duty to accommodate an employee's disability up to the point of undue hardship.

An employee is however responsible for requesting the accommodation and providing the employer with adequate information about the nature of his or her request.

This includes producing supporting medical documentation, if requested.

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.
