FAQ's

What assets are subject to probate?

Probate generally applies only to assets owned solely by the deceased with no designated beneficiaries. Assets like RRSPs with named beneficiaries, jointly held properties, or inter vivos gifts may not require probate. Always talk with us to determine which assets count.

What is the Small Estate Procedure?

For estates valued at $150,000 or less (subject to change), Ontario offers a streamlined process that may reduce or waive probate fees and simplify administration.

Is this tax the same as inheritance tax?

No. Ontario does not have an inheritance or estate tax. The Estate Administration Tax is simply a fee for court validation of a will—sometimes referred to as “probate tax.”

What is Long-Term Disability (LTD) Insurance

Long-Term Disability insurance provides financial support to individuals who are unable to work for an extended period due to illness or injury. It helps cover a portion of your lost income during your recovery.

How Do I Qualify For Long-Term Disability Benefits In Ontario?

To qualify for LTD benefits, you generally need to have a medical condition that prevents you from performing the essential duties of your job. You must also meet any specific requirements outlined in your insurance policy, such as waiting periods and providing medical documentation.

What Types Of Conditions Are Covered Under Long Term Disability Insurance?

LTD insurance typically covers a wide range of medical conditions, including physical injuries, chronic illnesses, mental health disorders, and serious diseases. It's important to review your policy for specific coverage details.

How Long Can I Receive Long-Term Disability Benefits?

The duration of LTD benefits depends on your insurance policy. Some policies provide benefits until you reach a certain age (e.g., 65), while others may have a set time limit (e.g., two years). Your policy will specify the maximum benefit period.

What Should I DO If My Long-Term Disability Claim Is Denied?

If your LTD claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. It's important to review the denial letter carefully, gather additional medical evidence, and consider seeking legal advice to help strengthen your case and navigate the appeals process.
