Update 90, January 2018 has been published. Contents include:

  • Land Titles and Personal Property Registry Changes: Notices and Directives

I found the Cowper-Smith decision of personal interest. When families no longer live close to aging parents, one sibling can be required to take on more caretaking duties than others, and there should be a way to guarantee recognition for this, especially, as in this case, where an oral agreement was in place.
