Wise Law’s Employment #LawFact of the day: Can I get my job back if I have been fired?


1.     Under Ontario law, reinstatement of non-unionized employment can only be required if the termination was discriminatory or in reprisal to a workplace safety, employment standards, or similar statutory complaint.

Unionized employees may have additional protections.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What are the legal rights of adopted children when a parent - biological or adoptive - passes away?


Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: 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.

Wise Law’s Employment LawFact of the day: How much am I owed if I am fired?


The amount payable to a wrongfully dismissed employee depends on length of employment, age, salary, and several other factors.

It can be as much as one month for each year of service, or even more in exceptional circumstances.

You may be entitled to compensation. Ask us!

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 It is no longer valid after death.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.

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.
