Do you have what you need to advise on the complex legal issues facing elderly clients?

The landscape is shifting for clients and their financial service providers. Both during incapacity and after death, it can be unclear to lawyers, estate trustees, co-account holders and beneficiaries what rights and obligations exist under the pre-existing account and plan documentation of the financial institutions.

Practitioners must have a thorough understanding of the common, yet avoidable problems encountered by representatives who interact with banks, mutual fund companies and investment dealers on behalf of elderly clients.

The following topics will be explored:

  • Voluntary Commitment on Powers of Attorney and Joint Accounts binding Canada’s banks
  • Understanding the contractual rights and duties and the impact of differing regulatory regimes governing documentation requirements
  • How to manage jurisdictional issues in respect of powers of attorney documents
  • Joint accounts versus estate plans: recent decisions on the presumption of resulting trust
  • Working with banks to implement remedies: service requirements, preservation orders, tracing orders, and more

This webinar is part of the Best Practices and Practical Realities: The Osgoode Elder Law Webinar Series.
