Estate Considerations for RRSP and RRIF
One of the best gifts you can leave your family after you pass away is a well thought out estate plan that can minimize tax obligations. Often, Registered Retirement Saving Plans (RRSP) and Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) make up a large portion of an estate, which is why concern regarding these accounts is important when developing an estate plan.
Tax Concerns and Leased Property
Within a real estate transaction, not all property is transferred in the traditional sense that both the dwelling and the subsequent land are conveyed in fee simple. An increasing number of transactions include purchases where the dwelling is conveyed in fee simple, but the land itself is merely leased to the occupant.

Locating a Missing Beneficiary
Administering an estate is often a straightforward process. Once an individual has passed away, the named executor has a duty to distribute the deceased’s estate according to the terms of their Will. This includes, but is not limited to identifying and locating the beneficiaries who are set to receive an inheritance. However, what happens when the executor is unable to locate a beneficiary?

Family Law Litigation Process - Part 2
In most family law cases, parties are to attend at least one of the three conferences available. These include a case conference, settlement conference and trial management conference. These conferences are provided as an opportunity to resolve all or some of the issues, which can save both parties time and costs involved in settling a case.

Fiduciary Duty
A fiduciary duty is the obligation of one party to act in the best interest of another party. These types of relations arise all over. They can include corporate relationships and patient-doctor relationships. In 2004, the Supreme Court of Canada released an important decision in regards to the meaning behind section 122(1)(b) of the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) in regard to fiduciary duties.
