Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: When should you make a Will?


The best time to time to prepare your Last Will is “right now.” 
The end product is only half the benefit. You also benefit from taking stock of all your assets and responsibilities and from planning how you’d like to take care of your loved ones. 

When you talk with a lawyer about your Will, you will get advice and clarity about these concerns and the steps you need to take to keep your affairs in order. There is no more important way to provide for your family and your future.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is Probate?


When you name a person in your last will to be the Executor of your Estate, that person sometimes needs to also apply to the Court to be appointed formally as the legal representative of your Estate in order to deal with certain property that you own, potentially like a house or a bank account that solely in your name. 

The process of applying to Court to be appointed as the representative of your Estate is what we call Probate.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: If a family member has put money into an investment in your name and you have a co-signed on changes to the investment, does that investment belong to you?


The answer will very often depend on what you and your family member intended. Did they put the investments in your name with the expectation that you would hold it for their benefit, as a convenience, or was it done with the intention that the money was to belong to you? 

Where there is a dispute, Ontario’s Courts will look at the documents or agreements you signed, the intentions of everyone involved and the surrounding circumstances to determine ownership interests.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Providing for Guardianship of your Children in your Last Will


You can definitely name somebody in your last will to have custody and guardianship of your minor children in the event both of the parents pass away.

Now, the appointment you make in you last will is temporary. That person will eventually need to apply to the court to be appointed as a permanent guardian. But, when they make that application, the court will look very closely on who you named in your last will, and factor that in the decision about who should be the permanent guardian of your children.
