Thinking of helping your child buy their first home or start a business? šŸ”šŸ’¼

In BC, financial gifts from parents can be protected from division in a separation, but only if they’re handled correctly.

Here are 4 ways to help ensure your gift remains your child’s separate property:

āœ… Keep ownership separate
āœ… Document your intent
āœ… Consider a formal loan agreement
āœ… Explore trust structures or cohabitation agreements

Protecting a gift requires more than good intentions—it takes planning.

šŸ“© Have questions? Our team is here to help you structure it right.

Today we honour women in Canadian law on International Women’s Day šŸ‘©šŸ½ā€āš–ļøāš–ļø

Throughout history, women have made significant contributions to the legal profession, breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations. From Clara Brett Martin, Canada’s first female lawyer, to esteemed leaders like Beverley McLachlin, Marion Ironquill Meadmore, Kim Campbell, and Beth Symes, their impact has shaped the legal landscape in Canada and beyond.

At Parr Business Law, we recognize and celebrate the resilience, leadership, and achievements of women in law—past, present, and future. Their dedication to justice and equality continues to inspire progress in the legal profession and society as a whole.

We also take this opportunity to appreciate the incredible women at our firm—Shelly, Grace, and Nirusha—for their hard work, expertise, and commitment to serving our clients with excellence.

Did you know that in BC, pets can be part of your estate plan? 🐶

If you want to make sure your pets are cared for in the case that something happens to you, you can include provisions for them in your will. It’s called a ā€˜pet trust’—you set aside funds specifically for their care and even choose a guardian for them. This way, your furry friends are taken care of and their future is secure.

🐾 Want to know how to include pets in your estate plan? We’re here to help!
