A little time out of our day to make a difference!

A little time away from the office, but still time well spent together!

Yesterday, our lawyers gathered at Brookstreet Hotel for a team retreat, an opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and discuss our goals and priorities for the firm.

The day wasn't all meetings and discussions, though! We also made time for some golf at 19th Tee.

Taking time to come together outside our daily routines is an important part of building a strong, connected team.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we took time to listen, learn, reflect, and honour the Survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and their families and communities.

Our team gathered to watch the national commemorative gathering from Parliament Hill and reflect on the history and ongoing impacts of the residential school system.

As part of our observance, we also purchased a selection of items from a local Indigenous-owned shop. The items were gifted to staff, providing another opportunity to support Indigenous businesses.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey, and today serves as an important reminder of the importance of continuing to listen, learn, and reflect.

Adding an adult child to a bank account or property title may seem like a simple estate planning decision, but it can create unexpected complications down the road.

Who actually owns the asset after the parent dies? Does it pass automatically to the surviving joint owner, or does it form part of the estate?

In our latest blog, Adrian Taylor explains how joint ownership of assets can affect estate administration, including the right of survivorship, the presumption of resulting trust, and important considerations for estate planning.
