Best Estate Planning Attorneys in Cambridge, ON

You are the only person responsible for your property. That’s right. You are the person in charge of your bank accounts, investments, real estate, loans, credit cards, pension entitlements, corporate shares, brokerage account, overseas interests, purchases, transactions, Florida condo, government benefits, tax obligations, trailer ownership and any unwritten “deals” you’ve made. How you own it, whose name is on it, where it is, what was said, what’s the understanding, what’s it for, what you’re doing with it, where to get help with it, it all falls on your shoulders. It’s you. It’s always been you. Early in 2023, the media unfortunately sensationalized a story of how Toronto homeowners came home to discover that their house had been sold while they were on vacation and new “owners” were occupying the home. This story involved many layers of professionals who were not doing their jobs, and a general prevalence in society to value quick money over process and natural human curiosity. It’s an extreme example of what can go wrong with things we own. Unfortunately, the average property owner will dismiss this story as an extreme case, believing “This couldn’t happen to me”. While it’s highly unlikely that this will happen to you, it’s unfortunate because it obscures the much more common, mundane, and everyday circumstances that pose a much greater risk, and that we see on a regular basis.
