  • The Role of Title Insurance in Your Home Purchase

    Author: External Author | Feb 01, 2019 | Categories: Business Law , Commercial Mortgage , Contract Drafting , Corporate Law , Estate Planning , Law Firm , Legal Service , Real Estate Lawyer , Residential Mortgage

    In the purchase of a home, one of the questions routinely asked of the real estate lawyer by his/her client is whether to purchase title insurance as part of the transaction. In order to intelligently answer this question in the context of any particular real estate purchase, it is necessary to first understand what title insurance is, and, perhaps more importantly, what it is not.

  • Willing and Able

    Author: External Author | Jan 31, 2019 | Categories: Business Law , Commercial Mortgage , Contract Drafting , Corporate Law , Estate Planning , Law Firm , Legal Service , Real Estate Lawyer , Residential Mortgage

    I have noticed it has been more common lately for increasingly younger people to have their wills and powers of attorney prepared, and I suspect this is , in part, due to the greater sophistication of consumers in general.

The most obvious reason for this requirement is that, almost always, when a person draws a will, he /she revokes any previous will, so that the new will stands alone and is not confused with any previously expressed intentions.

  • WILLING TO TRUST: The use of Trusts in Estate Planning

    Author: External Author | Jan 31, 2019 | Categories: Business Law , Commercial Mortgage , Contract Drafting , Corporate Law , Estate Planning , Law Firm , Legal Service , Real Estate Lawyer , Residential Mortgage

    It is estimated that, over the next 20 years, assuming present life expectancies and relative economic calm, the Canadian Baby Boomers will inherit over 1 trillion dollars. And, by extension, the much smaller millenial generation will inherit even much more. Particularly in larger estates, corporations and trusts are often used to avoid or defer various types of tax, and to organize more clearly the intentions of the testator.
