For clients with more modest means, many adopt a strategy that can be described as the poor man's Porsche of blended family estate planning. It consists of a life insurance policy directed to the children as beneficiaries, a simple will leaving the whole estate to the surviving spouse, and a moral promise on the part of the spouse to include both sides of the family in the ultimate distribution of property when the surviving member of the couple dies. It keeps legal fees to a minimum. It is very hard to attack or overturn, even with a good litigation lawyer who practises in this area. It creates a clean break between the spouse and the children. The surviving spouse may not honour the moral promise, and can change his or her will later to exclude the other's children. Even given that, t...

Important lines of inquiry include the judgment's likely effect on judicial review of separation agreements and the extent to which it signals a retrenchment from the Supreme Court's comfort with private ordering in the family setting.2 Bracketing those inquiries, this paper argues that Rick merits careful study on account of the Court's approach to the relationships between statutory family law and the general private law, on one hand, and federal and provincial law, on the other. The second part draws out what appears to be confusion, in Rick, about the Supreme Court's judgment in Miglin v. Miglin3 and its relation to the doctrine of unconscionability.4 Puzzlingly, the Court in Rick read the earlier judgment as a modification of the common law of contract for the spousal setting, ins...

Be careful with discussions about wills, inheritances and the division of property as well as anything related to jointly held possessions. You're feeling generous. (Just don't give away the farm.)

Are we asking the taxpayer to pay for them at the wrong time? Specialized programs that cater to only a select number of students - such as the International Baccalaureate program at Neelin high school or the proposed single-track French immersion program at Harrison school - are two natural choices for such reductions, Griffin said. [...] since the costs associated with providing English as an Additional Language programming to the huge influx of immigrant students in the city have risen at a record rate, the chamber suggests the division should lobby harder to have the province cover all of those costs. Because the recent provincial property reassessment has shifted the majority tax burden away from commercial and industrial properties and onto residential ones, the division is actu...
