Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: If a Will makes a gift to "my children", does that include adopted children?


What are the legal rights of adopted children when a parent - biological or adoptive - passes away? If the Will makes a gift to "my children", does that include adopted children?

Under Ontario law, legally adopted children are generally presumed to have the same rights as biological children for estate purposes. 

A testator still has the freedom to make gifts and leave inheritances and specify that they are only for certain, specified children, if she chooses, so the question may depend on interpreting what the deceased intended and the wording of the Will.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: What is an Executor?


An Executor is the person who’s the legal representative of your Estate. 

After you die, your Executor is responsible for taking all of the assets and properties that you own and distributing it to your heirs. 

If you’re thinking about who should be your Executor, you want to name a person who is responsible, organized, a good communicator, and who keeps their head in a difficult emotional situation, and if you can pick somebody who lives in Ontario.

Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: Non-Competition Agreement


If your employment agreement prohibits you from competing with your employer or soliciting its customers after you leave, those restrictions may not be enforceable.

Non-competition agreements are generally unenforceable against Ontario employees.

Many non-solicitation agreements may also be unenforceable.

Seek legal advise if you have signed such an agreement.
