⚖ The conversation about whether Alberta should leave the CPP has raised a question most Albertans haven't considered: what happens to your pension benefits when you die — and who actually receives them?

Under any pension plan, the beneficiary designation on file controls where those funds go. Not your Will.

That means:
→ An ex-spouse named before your divorce may still receive your pension death benefit
→ A new partner with no formal legal status may receive nothing
→ Children named decades ago may not be who you'd choose today

Whatever happens with Alberta's pension future — your estate plan should reflect your actual intentions.

Have you reviewed your pension beneficiary designations recently?

⚖ Thanksgiving is the one weekend a year when most Calgary families are gathered around the same table — and the one time most people think about what truly matters.

But very few of those conversations turn into legal action.

A Will doesn't just distribute your assets. It answers the questions your family shouldn't have to figure out in a difficult moment:

→ Who cares for the kids if something happens to you?
→ Who manages your financial affairs if you become incapacitated?
→ What happens to your home?

These questions deserve an answer before they're needed.

Wishing you and your family a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving. 🍁

⚖ Una de las preguntas más frecuentes — y más cargadas — en el derecho familiar de Alberta.

Cuando ambos padres son capaces y están presentes, los tribunales de Alberta no buscan quién es 'mejor.' Buscan el arreglo que mejor sirva el bienestar del niño.

Eso puede significar:
→ Custodia compartida con tiempo equitativo entre ambos padres
→ Custodia primaria con uno y visitas estructuradas con el otro
→ Un plan parental personalizado que refleje la rutina real del niño

Lo que el tribunal NO considera: quién fue el primero en contratar un abogado, quién tiene la casa más grande, o quién presenta más documentos.

¿Han hablado de esto en su familia? ¿Qué preguntas tienen sobre la custodia en Alberta?

⚖ One of the biggest misconceptions in Alberta family law right now.

If you've lived with your partner for years — or even decades — you may assume you have the same legal protections as a married couple. In Alberta, you don't.

Common-law partners in Alberta are NOT entitled to:
→ Automatic division of property acquired during the relationship
→ A share of the family home unless their name is on the title
→ Spousal support in the same way that legally married spouses are

The only protection a cohabiting couple has is the one they create in writing — through a properly drafted cohabitation agreement.

As common-law relationships become more common across Calgary, this is one of the most urgent and least understood gaps in Alberta family law.

Have you and your partner had this conversation?

⚖ The most expensive mistake people make after separation isn't hiring the wrong lawyer. It's not hiring one at all — and relying on what was agreed verbally.

In Alberta, a verbal separation agreement is worth nothing in a courtroom.

A properly drafted separation agreement covers:

→ Property division — every asset, every debt, every account. Not just the obvious ones.

→ The family home — sell, buy out, or co-own with a formal legal structure.

→ Parenting arrangements — specific, detailed, and built to prevent future disputes.

→ Child and spousal support — amounts, timelines, and conditions for review.

→ What happens if one party doesn't comply.

Both parties must also receive Independent Legal Advice — otherwise the agreement can be challenged and set aside entirely.

Legal EDGE drafts separation agreements that are clear, fair, and fully enforceable under Alberta law.

⚖Tu banco maneja las condiciones de tu hipoteca.
Tu abogado maneja todo lo demás — y eso es mucho más de lo que la mayoría imagina.

Lo que Legal EDGE hace en una transacción inmobiliaria que tu banco no puede:

✔️ Revisar el contrato de compraventa cláusula por cláusula
✔️ Verificar que el título está libre de gravámenes, embargos o disputas
✔️ Confirmar que quien vende tiene autoridad legal para hacerlo
✔️ Asegurar la transferencia de fondos a través de una cuenta fiduciaria regulada
✔️ Registrar el título a tu nombre de forma oficial en el gobierno de Alberta
✔️ Protegerte de fraude antes, durante y después del cierre

En Alberta, una transacción inmobiliaria sin representación legal no es solo un riesgo — es una decisión que puede costarte mucho más que los honorarios del abogado.

Atendemos en español e inglés.

⚖ Most people have heard the word 'probate' without knowing what it actually costs their family — or whether it can be avoided.

Probate is the formal court process of validating a Will and authorizing an executor to administer an estate. It is required when:

→ Financial institutions require it before releasing assets held solely in the deceased's name
→ The estate includes real property in Alberta
→ There are disputes or ambiguities between beneficiaries

What does it cost?
In Alberta, probate fees are based on the gross value of the estate. On a $600,000 estate, fees can exceed $3,000 — plus legal costs and time.

Can it be avoided?
Sometimes. Proper beneficiary designations on registered accounts, joint ownership with right of survivorship, and well-structured trusts can reduce or eliminate probate.

The right estate plan minimizes what your family has to manage. Legal EDGE builds plans that use every available tool.

⚖ Most homebuyers celebrate when their offer is accepted. And they should. But the work that actually protects you begins right after — during the condition period.

In Alberta, purchase agreements typically include conditions that give you the right to withdraw if specific requirements aren't satisfied:

🔍 Financing condition — your lender formally approves the mortgage for this specific property. Not pre-approved. Formally approved.

🔍 Home inspection condition — a licensed inspector reviews the property. Their findings can be grounds to renegotiate or withdraw entirely.

🔍 Condo document review — for strata properties, you have the legal right to review all financial statements, bylaws, reserve fund reports, and AGM minutes before committing.

Once conditions are waived, the deal is binding. Missing a deadline — even by one day — can cost you your deposit.

Legal EDGE reviews your conditions before you waive them.
