About This Course

The family unit is ever changing and transforming. Lawyers practicing in either family law or estates law must be aware of the impact their advice can have in the many areas of a client’s life.

Questions arise, such as:

Should a lawyer act for one party in a domestic contract and then draft wills for both parties if the clients consent?
What types of instructions should be acknowledged in writing?
What should be included in a checklist for security for support after death for Separation Agreements?
Who is the "spouse" of a deceased for pension rights and for Succession Law Reform Act (SLRA) claims?
What is the effect of a pension survivor benefit on SLRA claims?
What can we learn from Carrigan (Version 4 from the Divisional Court)?

Join seasoned Family and Estates lawyers who will discuss these and other common pitfalls and solutions.

For more than 135 years, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, located within the Courthouse Library, has represented the interests of lawyers practising in the City of Toronto. The association was founded to support its members in three key areas: Knowledge, Advocacy, and Community. To uphold these pillars, the association offers a year-round mix of online and in-person education programs for lawyers, hosts both free and paid events to foster in-person networking, and submits advocacy pieces on behalf of its members to the Ontario bench and bar, all levels of government, and the broader public.
