Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we take time to remember the children who never came home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities.

Reconciliation requires more than acknowledgement. It requires us to listen, to learn, and to reflect on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and the role each of us can play in moving them forward.

Today is an opportunity to do just that

Thinking about gifting a property to a family member?

It may seem simple, but transferring property for little or no money can still have major legal and tax implications.

In Canada, even if a property is gifted, it may still be treated as if it was sold at fair market value. That means the person gifting the property could potentially trigger capital gains tax, depending on the property’s value, original purchase price, and whether it qualifies as a principal residence.

There may also be land transfer tax, title issues, mortgage considerations, and estate planning concerns to think through before making the transfer.

Before gifting a home, cottage, rental property, or land, it’s important to understand the full picture and get proper legal advice.

At OV Law, we help clients navigate real estate transfers, title changes, and property transactions with clarity and confidence.

Handwritten wills can be valid, but they often create more problems than people expect.

Without the proper legal wording, direction, and structure, a handwritten will may leave room for confusion, disputes, or even partial intestacy.

That can make things harder for your executor and your beneficiaries when they need clarity most.

A properly drafted will helps make your wishes clear and helps your loved ones avoid unnecessary stress.

Thinking about making or updating your will? Speaking with a lawyer can help make sure it is done properly.
