Ontario Wills and Estates #LawFact of the Day: Life Insurance and Your Estate #law #legal #EstatePlanning

Life insurance policies that designate a beneficiary become that beneficiary's property on the day the insured dies. 

They don't become part of the insured’s Estate and they are not subjected to estate tax.

Speak to your insurer to designate or update your beneficiary under your policy. It's a critical step in your estate planning.

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

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.
