June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day - a reminder that elder abuse is more common than many people realize, and it often happens quietly, behind closed doors.

At Fieldstone Law, we see firsthand how vulnerable seniors can be when trust is misplaced. Abuse isn’t always physical; it can show up in behaviour, finances, or relationships. Recognizing the signs early and staying connected can make a meaningful difference.

Our latest blog explores what elder abuse looks like, how to spot red flags, and how proper legal planning, including Powers of Attorney, can help protect loved ones from financial exploitation and undue influence.

If you’re concerned about a vulnerable family member or want to learn more about prevention, we’re here to help. 💜💙

What an incredible day at the Burlington Helping Burlington Charity Golf Tournament at the beautiful Mount Nemo Golf Club! ⛳️💙

Barbara had a fantastic time hitting the greens with her husband Tim, our retired colleague Rick, and his wife Brenda. A foursome full of laughs, friendly competition, and great memories.

We were proud to be represented as a hole sponsor this year-community support is at the heart of what we do.

A special shoutout to our Burlington neighbour Mary Dilly of Downsizing Solutions, who generously sponsored the golf carts. Mary is a powerhouse in helping families transition smoothly into their next chapter, and we’re lucky to have her in our community!

And of course, another amazing Burlington neighbour: Fareen Samji of Far Samji-5‑time Canadian Women’s Long Drive Champion, entrepreneur, professional speaker, mentor, and community leader-who sponsored both the Men’s and Women’s Longest Drive. Fareen’s dedication to empowering women and girls through sport and leadership is inspiring, and we loved seeing her support out on the course.

To top it all off, enjoy this hilarious clip of Barbara and Brenda taking on the “blindfolded tee‑off challenge.”

A wonderful day supporting an even more wonderful cause. 💙

Do you really need an estate plan if you don’t have an “estate”? Absolutely.
Estate planning isn’t about wealth - it’s about control, clarity, and protecting the people you love.

Your “estate” is simply everything you own, from your home and bank accounts to personal belongings. Without a plan, provincial laws decide what happens next - not you.

A thoughtful estate plan can:
✔️Ensure your assets go where you want
✔️Reduce stress and conflict for your family
✔️Protect your autonomy if you can’t make decisions
✔️Support your children’s future
✔️Minimize taxes and delays

Whether you’re starting fresh or updating an existing plan, we’re here to help you protect what matters most.

It covers the most frequent pitfalls we see, from misunderstanding contracts to overlooking total transaction cost, and offers practical strategies to help you navigate the process with confidence.

If you’re planning a move this year, this guide is a must‑read.

Today, Barbara had the privilege of visiting her son’s high school entrepreneurship class to talk about what it truly means to build and run a business. She shared her journey - the early hurdles, the rewarding milestones, the tough decisions, and the moments that make it all worthwhile.

It was an inspiring conversation with students who are already thinking big about their futures. We’re grateful for opportunities to support young entrepreneurs and give them a real‑world look at leadership, resilience, and the power of believing in your ideas!

Starting a business in Ontario and unsure whether you need to register your business name? Our newest blog breaks down everything you need to know about Business Name Registrations (BNRs) — and why they matter for sole proprietors, partnerships, and corporations alike.

A BNR is more than just paperwork. It’s what allows you to legally operate under your chosen brand, open a business bank account, sign contracts, and show the CRA that you’re running your business properly. Our guide walks you through:

- When a Business Name Registration is required

- How the rules differ for individuals, partnerships, and incorporated businesses

- What a BNR does not provide (like name protection or trademark rights)

If you’re launching a new venture or planning to operate under a new brand, this is a must‑read.

✨ And we’re excited to share that our blog is officially back!
You can now expect a new post every month covering key topics in corporate law, wills & estates, and real estate. We’re looking forward to bringing you clear, practical insights all year long.

Visit our website to dive into the full blog and get a clear understanding of when and why a Business Name Registration is required.
