This Toronto Lawyers Association (TLA) webinar features the Honourable Justice Frederick Myers, Kristine Anderson, Clare Burns, and Gary Joseph, as they provide a guide for navigating corporate issues in family and estate matters during matrimonial breakdowns and deaths.
The presenters examine a fact scenario involving a husband in a second marriage with various businesses, separating from his second wife, and subsequently passing away. The Honourable Justice Frederick Myers, Kristine Anderson, Clare Burns, and Gary Joseph provide practical advice for handling situations where a party dies amid a separation dispute, analyze the complex intersections of corporate, family, and business law in the given fact pattern, explore the enforceability of marriage contracts, and how the use of corporations as personal banks affects business valuations and taxes in this type of case.
The Honourable Justice Frederick Myers, Kristine Anderson, Clare Burns, and Gary Joseph discuss how to handle estate freezes, and give practical advice for litigators, including: drawing family trees and corporate organization charts, reading minute books, understanding limitation periods, and the importance of family law lawyers having fundamental knowledge of business and tax law.
