Life Insurance Proceeds, FLA Security, and Dependant’s Support

Overview

This CPD seminar will consider whether a family lawyer that lacks knowledge of the estate considerations and the Succession Law Reform Act should recommend that the client seek advice from an estate lawyer, or whether the family law lawyer can secure a legal opinion from an estate lawyer on these issues.

Topics include:

  • Section 34(1)(i) of the Family Law Act and life insurance proceeds as security.
  • Section 72 (1)(f) of the Succession Law Reform Act and life Insurance proceeds as part of the notional Estate for support purposes.
  • Structuring separation agreements as contemplated by Katz v. Katz, 2014 ONCA 606 (Ont. C.A.).
  • Making sense of the intersection of the FLA and SLRA.
