Have you been cut out of the will?

You are surprised to hear that you have been excluded from the proceeds of your Family Estate. The other siblings may have altered the process or influenced the deceased in their later years.

Have you been cut out of the will entirely?

If you have, you have grounds to contest the will through the courts.

Grounds are that the deceased was not mentally competent when the will was signed, or else dementia.    Another ground is.. Was the deceased pressured to make the will leaving certain parties as beneficiaries, excluding yourself?

You must act quickly!

If you have questions Call Me...

Prohibitive Legal Costs force DIY applications = Self Representation

I have spoken about his before; the average person can rarely afford or understand the process that is needed with many legal issues.  This Toronto Star Article summarizes the reforms well.

A bold new report from an action committee of Canadian legal experts proposes a profound shift in the way courts, lawyers and litigants function in this country. Appropriately titled “A Roadmap for Change,” it calls for a user-friendly system, operating in plain language and geared to keeping people out of court unless there’s absolutely no alternative.
“The current system, which is inaccessible to so many . . . is unsustainable,” write the authors. “Access to justice is at a critical stage in Canada. What is needed is major, sustained and collaborative system-wide change.”
It’s estimated that almost 12 million Canadians will face at least one legal problem in a given three-year period. With about 40 per cent of marriages ending in divorce, family law alone involves a huge amount of litigation. “These are problems of everyday people in everyday life,” write the authors of the report. http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2013/10/11/bold_report_shows_canada_how_to_achieve_true_access_to_justice_editorial.html

I have created a Self Representation Program that assists you to DIY through the Family Law System.   I can help you prepare documentation and submissions, but you attend all the hearings on your own.  At this point you would have a good understanding of the points that need to be made at your Hearings and documents that are filed.

Common Law Marriage and Property Rights

When you are living together as a Common Law couple and contributing to the household expenses who owns the property?



Constructive Trust -   I'm going to talk to you about property Rights of Common Law Spouses in the Province of Ontario.
