What is the Difference between Joint Tenancy and Tenancy in Common?

Joint tenancy and tenancy in common are two types of property joint ownership. The distinctive feature of joint tenancy is the right of survivorship. The right of survivorship means that the surviving joint tenant(s) automatically takes interest that the deceased joint tenant had in the property immediately prior to his or her death. On the other hand, tenancy in common conveys no right of survivorship. When one tenant in common dies, his or her interest does not pass to the surviving co-tenant(s), but forms part of the deceased co-tenant's estate.

What is the Property Transfer Tax?

Property Transfer Tax (PTT) is a provincial tax imposed on land transfers. PTT is payable at the time of registration of the transfer in the Land Title Office.
For more information on PTT click here.
Some property transfers may be exempt from PTT. For example, there is a full or partial exemption for the first time home buyer.
For more information on the first time home buyer exemption click here.

When Should I Pay GST?

In general, if you are a purchaser and a first occupier of a new or substantially renovated home, you must pay GST. There may be other situations when you have to pay GST. GST may be included in the purchase price or added to it depending on the wording in the contract of purchase and sale. Before signing a contract, a buyer should clarify with his or her realtor or the seller whether GST is payable and whether the purchase price includes GST.

If you require assistance with any of the following matters:
- uncontested (desk order) divorce;
- separation agreement;
- cohabitation agreement;
- marriage agreement;
please call our office at (604)-568-1678 to schedule a free 30 minute initial consultation.

What is a Separation Agreement?

A separation agreement is a legally binding contract that is made upon a marriage breakdown or at the end of a common-law relationship. They usually deal with some or all of the legal issues arising from your separation, including arrangements relating to children, financial support, settlement of your property claims, payment of your debts, settlement of your pension claims, and possession of your matrimonial home.

Do I Need a Separation Agreement?

You are not required by law to have a separation agreement in the event of your separation or divorce. However, a written separation agreement can be a good way to clearly settle matters while avoiding expensive, stressful, and time consuming litigation. If your agreement includes child or spousal support, you can file it with the court and ask the court to enforce it. Also, if your agreement includes child or spousal support, you can choose to enroll it with the Family Maintenance Enforcement Program (FMEP). The FMEP can then monitor your agreement and enforce its provisions related to spousal and child support.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Prepare a Separation Agreement?

Making and signing a separation agreement is a very important step, as future changes to the agreement can only be made with the consent of your spouse or an order of the court. Drafting an effective separation agreement requires substantial knowledge of family law and contract law. While guides are available to help you to draft an agreement, hiring a lawyer will help ensure the solidity, enforceability, and fairness of your separation agreement. Whether you draft your separation agreement yourself or with the help of a lawyer, before signing the agreement each spouse should get independent legal advice concerning the content of the agreement, the options that may be open to the spouses if they do not execute the agreement, and the legal consequences of signing the agreement. If a spouse did not have independent legal advice, he or she may be able to set aside the agreement on this basis. Also, a separation agreement may be set aside by court on some other grounds.

How Much Will a Separation Agreement Cost?

Our fee for drafting a relatively straightforward separation agreement is $890.00 plus taxes and disbursements.
If you wish us to assist you with drafting a separation agreement, please call our office at (604)-568-1678 or e-mail novinska@nilaw.ca.

Cohabitation Agreement

This is an agreement between parties who live in a common-law relationship. You can make a cohabitation agreement at any time before or during your common-law relationship to define issues arising during the relationship and in the event the relationship breaks down.
Typically, a cohabitation agreement deals with spousal support, and division of property, debts and pensions when the relationship ends. It may also set out how the household expenses will be paid, whether parties will have joint or separate bank accounts, how the household chores will be divided and how the children brought into relations will be cared for during the relationship.
The information presented in Separation Agreements: Do I Need a Lawyer to Prepare a Separation Agreement? applies equally to a cohabitation agreement.
Our fee for drafting a relatively straightforward cohabitation agreement is $1500.00 plus taxes and disbursements.

Marriage Agreements

This is an agreement between parties that are married to each other or contemplating their marriage. The parties may agree on their respective rights and obligations during marriage or on separation or divorce, including ownership and division of property, division of debts, pension division, spousal support obligations, and some other matters in the settlement of their affairs. The information presented in Separation Agreements:
Do I Need a Lawyer to Prepare a Separation Agreement? applies equally to a marriage agreement.
Our fee for drafting a relatively straightforward marriage agreement is $1500.00 plus taxes and disbursements.

Uncontested Divorce

If you and your spouse agree on the terms of your divorce, your divorce is uncontested. In such a case you may obtain divorce by a desk order by filing an application in the court registry. The application will be reviewed by the registry staff and forwarded to a judge. The judge will review the evidence and, if appropriate, sign the divorce order at his desk. There is no court hearing.

When Is a Desk Order Divorce Appropriate?

You may wish to get your divorce by a desk order if:

(i)  you and your spouse have settled all issues related to property division, division of pension and debts, spousal support, and child custody and support (corollary relief) and the only claim you make is for divorce;
(ii) you had made a claim for divorce together with corollary relief claims, but have settled the corollary matters in a separation agreement or minutes of settlement and wish to incorporate the settlement into a divorce order; or
(iii)  you had made a claim for divorce together with corollary relief claims, but have settled the corollary matters and wish to withdraw or dismiss the corollary relief claims and get only the order for divorce.

In summary, a desk order divorce is available where:

(i)  a proceeding is undefended from the outset; or
(ii)  the divorce is not contested and all other claims have either been settled or withdrawn, or struck out, discontinued or dismissed.

What Are the Requirements for Divorce?

The Canada Divorce Act states that the only ground for divorce is marriage breakdown.
Breakdown of the marriage is established only if:
(i)  the spouses have been separated for at least one year; or
(ii)  a spouse against whom the divorce proceeding is brought committed adultery or treated the other spouse with physical or mental cruelty.
If you are applying based on separation, you can file divorce application any time after you separate, but the court will not grant you divorce until you have been separated for one year.
You can apply for divorce in British Columbia if you or your spouse has lived in the province for at least one year.

Can I Do My Own Divorce?

Yes, you can do your own divorce, but it is highly recommended to contact a lawyer to ensure that all the documents are properly prepared and to get legal advice on consequences of your divorce because a divorce order may affect your entitlement to family assets, and division of pension and debts. It may also affect other matters such as tax, testamentary issues, benefits plans, and so on, arising from spousal status. Also, a divorce order starts a limitation period for property division, and division of pensions and debts.

What if I Have Children of the Marriage?

The court has a duty, before granting a divorce, to satisfy itself that reasonable arrangements have been made for the support of the children of the marriage. If such arrangements have not been made, the court will not grant a divorce order until suitable arrangements for support of the children are made. Reasonable arrangements are presumed to be child support paid in accordance with the Federal Child Support Guidelines.

If you are considering making a will, please call our office at (604)-568-1678 or e-mail novinska@nilaw.ca. to schedule a free 30 minute consultation.

Do I Need a Will?

Yes, because making a will helps to ensure that your final wishes are carried out. If you die without a will, the administration of your estate will be administered by Wills, Estates and Succession Act , which sets out the mandatory legislative scheme for distribution. Such distribution may contradict or otherwise deviate from your wishes.
A will enables you to:
- determine who will inherit your property;
- make arrangements for your loved ones to ensure their well being;
- name a person to administer your estate;
- name a guardian of your children;
- set out your funeral wishes;
- minimize taxes; and
- avoid delays and legal expenses in settling your estate.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Prepare a Will?

If you are 16 years old (some exceptions apply) and mentally competent, you can make your own will. However, simply making a will does not by itself ensure that your intentions will be carried out as you expected. A will takes effect only after your death, so you won't be available to clarify any debatable wording in the document. As a result, one of the greatest challenges in writing an effective will is ensuring that your intentions are recorded with sufficient detail and precision that:
- no misunderstandings arise about your actual intentions; and
- the document prevents anyone from successfully contesting the provisions of your will.

Courts of law regularly declare invalid parts of improperly prepared wills and even entire wills. Also, some property is legally incapable of being distributed through a person's estate. It therefore takes specialized knowledge to prepare a comprehensive will that takes into account the entirety of your unique circumstances and all applicable legislation and court decisions, and records your intentions with sufficient clarity and foresight to withstand critical scrutiny after your death.

To prevent unnecessary expenses and strain on your intended beneficiaries, it's worth involving a lawyer to ensure that:
- your will and all of its provisions are legally valid;
- your will reflects your testamentary wishes;
- the distribution of your estate is tax effective; and
- your will is properly executed.

How Can I Change My Will?

You can change your will by:
- making a new will with desired changes: this usually revokes the previous will in its entirety;
- making alterations: this only changes specified provisions and leaves the rest of the will intact.
All alterations must be made in the same way that a valid will is made.
The preferable way to change your will is to make a new will.

What Will It Cost?

For a simple will, our fee is $350.00 plus taxes and disbursements. A simple will includes:
- the appointment of estate administrators or trustees;
- the appointment of guardians of children;
- outright transfers of assets to the surviving spouse, children or other beneficiaries;
- setting up a simple trust for children;
- trustee provisions to manage educational and other benefits to children who are minors;
- funeral wishes; and
- gifts to charities.

A more complicated will includes:
- setting up life estates or trusts for the surviving spouse rather than making an outright transfer of assets to the spouse;
- setting up a complex trust for children or other beneficiaries;
- dealing with the shares of children who are not mentally competent;
- gifts to numerous beneficiaries;
- many specific gifts; or
- other complex property distribution arrangements.

The cost of a complex will is based on the time and effort involved in taking instructions, making necessary investigations, and preparing it. Usually the cost of such a will is between $400.00 and $1,000.00.

If you are considering obtaining a grant of probate, please call our office at (604)-568-1678 or e-mail novinska@nilaw.ca. to schedule a free 30 minute consultation.

What Is Probate?

A grant of probate is a document by which a court of law confirms that a will is legally valid and that the person named as executor in the will is the proper person to settle the estate. The court gives the executor documents, called the letters probate, as proof of his or her authority to deal with the estate.

Do I Need to Probate?

Financial institutions generally require a copy of the grant of letters probate before they will release to your estate any financial assets in their custody. Also, ownership registries such as the Land Titles Office and the Motor Vehicle Branch usually require a copy of the grant of letters probate before they allow a change of ownership of registered property such as real estate or a motor vehicle.
However, jointly owned bank accounts, real estate, RRSPs, pensions, and insurance policies with a named beneficiary, do not form part of the estate and will usually transfer directly to the survivor or named beneficiary without probate.
Although probate levies a fee on the assets involved, there are circumstances in which it's nonetheless advantageous to apply for a grant of probate

What is Involved in the Probate Process?

Probate is a quite complex procedure as it requires filing a series of forms and documents. Part 25 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules governs the procedure and documents required for administration and probate of estates.
Wills, Estates and Succession Act sets out the substantive procedures, and individual sections make references to the Rules to provide details and forms

What Are Probate Fees?

Probate fees are the fees that must be paid to the Probate Registry before a grant of probate is issued.
Probate fees are payable on the value of the estate, which is defined in the Probate Fee Act as follows:
       "value of the estate" means the gross value, as deposed to in a Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Distribution exhibited to the affidavit leading to a grant or to a resealing, as the case may be, of
       (a) the real and tangible personal property of the deceased situated in British Columbia, and
       (b) if the deceased was ordinarily resident in British Columbia immediately before the date of death, the intangible personal property of the deceased, wherever situated, that passes to the personal representative at the date of death.
The fee payable is $6 for each $1,000 or part of $1,000 of estate value in excess of $25,000, up to $50,000, plus $14 for each $1,000 or part of estate value in excess of $50,000, together with a court fee payable to commence the application for the grant.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Prepare an Application for Probate?

As an executor, you can prepare and file the application for Probate yourself. However, it is advisable to hire a lawyer to ensure that the paperwork for the application is properly done and the amount of the probate fees is correct. A lawyer can also give you detailed advice on your rights and responsibilities as executor. If you hire a lawyer, the estate should pay the lawyer's fees for legal services.

How Much Will It Cost?

Our fee for legal services in assisting you with obtaining a grant of probate is $1,600.00 plus taxes and disbursements if the matter is relatively straight forward and the estate is small. We can give you a more precise estimate after a free consultation.

What Is a Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document by which you (the "donor") appoint another person (the "attorney") to act on your behalf in financial and legal matters. You can appoint a family member, trust company or other trusted individual(s) as your attorney. You may wish to make a Power of Attorney if you are unable to look after your financial affairs due to travel or health matters. A Power of Attorney can be as specific or broad as you like. For example, you could give your attorney authority to deal with only bank accounts or only a particular piece of real estate, or with all of your assets. A Power of Attorney can also be limited to whatever time period you specify.

What Is an Enduring Power of Attorney?

Usually a Power of Attorney ends upon the occurrence of certain events, including the mental incapacitation of the donor. However, an Enduring Power of Attorney endures or continues despite the mental incapacitation of the donor. An Enduring Power of Attorney is therefore a useful planning tool for your possible future mental incapacitation. If you become mentally incapable, an Enduring Power of Attorney saves your family the expense and inconvenience of applying to a court of law for the right to manage your financial and legal matters. Although you as the donor will not be able to supervise your attorney's actions or revoke the Enduring Power of Attorney following your onset of mental incapacity, you can manage the risks ahead of time by specifying in the document that the power of attorney ends under certain circumstances.

What Is a Representation Agreement?

This is a document in which you authorize your representative to help you make decisions or to make decisions on your behalf about your health care, personal care, financial and legal matters, if you are unable to make them on your own. A Representation Agreement can therefore be a useful planning tool for your possible future mental incapacitation. You can give your representative some or all of the standard powers (defined in s.7 of the Representation Agreement Act) and additional powers (defined in s.9 of the Representation Agreement Act). If your agreement includes any additional powers, you must consult with a lawyer who must sign a certificate that must be attached to the agreement. You may also appoint a monitor to supervise the actions of your representative, an arrangement which is mandatory in certain circumstances.

How Much Will it Cost?

Our fee is $450.00 for a simple representation agreement plus taxes and disbursements.

Irina Novinska, Barrister and Solicitor (the "Firm")

The Personal Information Protection Act ("the Act") regulates the way private sector organizations within British Columbia collect, use, keep, secure and disclose personal information. "Personal Information" means all information about an identifiable individual. The Firm recognizes the importance of privacy and recognizes the sensitivity of personal information received by us in the course of our legal practice.
We recognize our professional obligation to maintain the confidentiality of our clients' information, and recognize our obligations concerning the personal information of all individuals that we collect, use or disclose in our practice. This policy has been developed with those obligations in mind

Our need for personal information

In order to be able to give legal advice to our clients, we need access to all relevant facts and information that relate to our retainer and to the representation of our clients. This information will necessarily include personal information about our clients and about individuals other than our clients.

Collection, use and disclosure of personal information

Where practical, we endeavour to collect personal information directly from the person to whom the information pertains. When necessary, we will collect personal information from other sources. By retaining this firm for legal advice or representation, an individual consents to our necessary collection, use or disclosure of the individual's personal information in order to properly advise and represent the individual. It is our policy to collect personal information about individuals other than our clients in accordance with the provisions of the Personal Information Protection Act. The Act deems that an individual has consented to our collection, use or disclosure of personal information about that individual if, at the time the consent is deemed to be given, the purpose would be considered obvious to a reasonable person. In such circumstances, we will collect, use or disclose personal information without obtaining a written or verbal consent to do so. The Act also permits us to collect, use or disclose personal information about an individual in some circumstances without the individual's consent. Those include (but are not limited to) circumstances in which:
- the collection, use or disclosure is clearly in the interests of the individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way;
- it is reasonable to expect that the collection or use of personal information with the consent of the individual would compromise the availability or accuracy of the information, and the collection or use of the information is necessary for an investigation or proceeding;
- it is reasonable to expect that the disclosure of personal information with the consent of the individual would compromise an investigation or proceeding, and the disclosure of the information is necessary for an investigation or proceeding;
- the personal information is available to the public from a prescribed source;
- the collection, use or disclosure of personal information is required or authorized by law.

When we collect, use or disclose personal information, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that it is accurate and complete.

Security of personal information

We recognize our professional and legal obligations to protect the confidential information of our clients. We recognize as well our legal obligations to protect the personal information we have gathered about our clients and about other individuals during the course of our practice of law.
We have therefore made arrangements to secure against the unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or destruction of personal information.

Requests for access to personal information

The Act permits individuals to submit written requests to us to provide them with:

- their personal information under our custody or control;
- information about how their personal information under our control has been and is being used by us;
- the names of the individuals and organizations to whom their personal information under our control has been disclosed by us.

We will respond to requests in the time allowed by the Act and will make a reasonable effort to assist applicants and to respond as accurately and completely as reasonably possible. All requests may be subject to any fees and disbursements the law permits us to charge.

An individual's ability to access his or her personal information under our control is not absolute. The Act provides that we must not disclose personal information when:
- the disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the safety or physical or mental health of an individual other than the individual who made the request;
- the disclosure can reasonably be expected to cause immediate or grave harm to the safety or to the physical or mental health of the individual who made the request;
- the disclosure would reveal personal information about another individual;
- the disclosure would reveal the identity of an individual who has provided personal information about another individual and the individual providing the personal information does not consent to disclosure of his or her identity.

The Act further provides that we are not required to disclose personal information when:
- the personal information is protected by solicitor-client privilege;
- the disclosure of the personal information would reveal confidential commercial information that, if disclosed, could, in the opinion of a reasonable person, harm the competitive position of an organization;
- the personal information was collected without consent for the purposes of an investigation, and the investigation and associated proceedings and appeals have not been completed;
- the personal information was collected or created by a mediator or arbitrator in the conduct of a mediation or arbitration for which he or she was appointed to act:
a. under a collective agreement,
b. under an enactment, or
c. by a court.

Requests for correction of personal information

The law permits individuals to submit written requests to us to correct errors or omissions in their personal information that is in our custody or control. We will:
- correct the personal information and, if reasonable to do so, send correction notifications to any other organizations to whom we disclosed the incorrect information; or
- decide not to correct the personal information, but annotate the personal information that a correction was requested but not made.

Contacting or communicating with us

If you have any questions with respect to our policies concerning the handling of your personal information, or if you wish to request access to, or correction of, your personal information under our care and control, please contact:
