Navigating Complex Legal Issues and Practical Considerations for Lawyers
If you are starting out as a Wills & Estates lawyer, or have some experience under your belt but need a refresher, then you’ll want to join our panel of seasoned lawyers from the Bar as they:
• Delve into the issue of assisted dying (MAID) • Consider the drafting and explain the impact of no contest clauses, burial clauses and special trustee clauses. • Explore secondary will drafting issues, and estate administration challenges. • Discuss legal updates including blended families, divorce and estate planning and posthumously conceived children. • Review, and comment on, dependant support claims.
Plus, we’ll walk you through precedents that are tied to your questions through sponsors LexisNexis and NoticeConnect and provide other practical information that you can apply right away!

Toronto Lawyers Association
For more than 135 years, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, located within the Courthouse Library, has represented the interests of lawyers practising in the City of Toronto. The association was founded to support its members in three key areas: Knowledge, Advocacy, and Community.To uphold these pillars, the association offers a year-round mix of online and in-person education programs for lawyers, hosts both free and paid events to foster in-person networking, and submits advocacy pieces on behalf of its members to the Ontario bench and bar, all levels of government, and the broader public.
Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
Am not a lawyer, but found it very interesting. Very good presentation.

interesting to compare your jurisdiction with mine. (NB) a glimpse out of the dark ages...
