Our new post for August is here! Marriage, children and the importance of having a will #wills #estates #etobicoke #toronto https://www.werhunlaw.com//marriage-children-and-the-impor

This just in - The Ministry of the Attorney General has advised that an emergency Order In Council has been made under s. 7.1 of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act with respect to the virtual commissioning and execution of wills. This will finally allow lawyers to meet with clients remotely to sign wills. Once posted, the order can be found here: https://www.ontario.ca/search/orders-in-council

The Ontario Attorney General is considering changes to the applicable legislation temporarily allowing execution of wills to be done over video instead of in person. We hope to hear something further on this in the coming days. https://www.cbc.ca//wills-estate-mortality-covid19-1.55123
