Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Do children inherit parent's debt?


Most debt doesn’t transfer from a parent’s estate to a child. If the deceased did not have enough assets to pay off the debts, the creditors may require a sale of the assets of the estate to address the debt, but that’s it. 
There are some exceptions- like if a child jointly owned the debt, or acted as a guarantor, or if the deceased parent improperly offloaded assets to the child for less than market value to evade creditors.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Making a Last Will


If you're making the Last Will there are 4 things that you should think about.

1. 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: Is a foreign Will valid in Ontario?


This can depend on the Will itself. Some factors to consider are:

  1. Does the Will intend to apply to property in Ontario?
  2. Can the words of the Will be interpreted conclusively?
  3. Does the Will deal with the property in a way that is legal in Ontario?

If the Court is satisfied with the answers to all of these questions, and an executor has already been appointed outside Ontario, it may grant that executor the right to administer the deceased’s property in Ontario, too.
