👶 Did you know? If a minor child inherits more than $35,000 in Ontario, a Guardianship of Property Application may be required before the funds can be released.

The Office of the Children’s Lawyer plays an important role in protecting a child’s financial interests and may need to be involved in the court process.

Whether you’re preparing a Will, administering an Estate, or dealing with a settlement involving a child, it’s important to understand the legal requirements before funds can be distributed.

🏡 Changed your legal name but your property title still shows your old name?

A name change doesn’t automatically update your land title. Depending on the reason for the name change (marriage, divorce, legal name change, etc.), you may need to register documents to ensure the title accurately reflects your current legal name.

⚖️ Always seek legal advice to determine the proper process for your situation.

What is an Apostille? 🌎📄

An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a Canadian document for use in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Common examples include powers of attorney, birth certificates, marriage certificates, and corporate documents.

Before sending documents abroad, make sure they are properly certified and apostilled to avoid delays.

Thinking of lending money to a friend, family member, or business? 💰

A handshake is not enough. A properly drafted promissory note and, where appropriate, a registered loan secured against assets can help protect your investment and clearly set out repayment terms, interest, and default remedies.

Protect the relationship by putting the agreement in writing before the money changes hands.
