Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: Investments
The answer will very often depend on what you and your family member intended. Did they put the investments in your name with the expectation that you would hold it for their benefit, as a convenience, or was it done with the intention that the money was to belong to you?
Where there is a dispute, Ontario’s Courts will look at the documents or agreements you signed, the intentions of everyone involved and the surrounding circumstances to determine ownership interests.

Wise Law's Family #LawFact of the Day: Common Law Separation in Ontario
The property rights of Common Law spouses upon separation are not governed by any Ontario statute.
Common Law spouses may still advance family property claims, especially where property has been acquired in a “joint family venture”
A spouse may also have property rights if they have contributed to the acquisition, maintenance, or improvement of property owned by their common law spouse

Wise Law's Employment #LawFact of the Day: How much am I owed if I am fired?
The amount payable to a wrongfully dismissed employee depends on the length of employment, age, salary, and several other factors.
It can be as much as one month for each year of service, or even more in exceptional circumstances.
You may be entitled to compensation.

Paul Adam on Wills and Estates: If a Will makes a gift to "my children", does that include adopted children?
Under Ontario law, legally adopted children are generally presumed to have the same rights as biological children for estate purposes.
A testator still has the freedom to make gifts and leave inheritances and specify that they are only for certain, specified children, if she chooses, so the question may depend on interpreting what the deceased intended and the wording of the Will.
