Unfortunately the trend towards censorship has now invaded the medical and scientific realm. For example, in Canada, The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has … Continue reading Consider both sides in the vaccine debate, if you can.
Is an estate entitled to an economic stimulus
We’ve received questions regarding economic stimulus checks being paid to deceased individuals. Unfortunately the news agencies are making misleading statements to the extent that individuals who paid income tax and filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019 are entitled to the stimulus payment.

Open letter to Wayne LaPierre
Mr. LaPierre, I am deeply saddened by what must have appeared to you as a personal attack. Let me assure that was not intended, at least, not by me.

Should my children be co-executors?
Many parents with more than one child find it difficult to choose one to administer their estate. Sometimes they don’t want to offend a child. Sometimes it’s truly hard to choose. Often their solution is to ask their attorney to appoint both children as co-executors.

Please make my son and daughter co-executors NOT!
When drafting a will, our clients with more than one child often request that we name both of their children as co-executors so not to offend one of them. While that decision is ultimately up to our client, in most circumstances, that is not the best solution.
