Join us for a practical webinar on joint tenancy risks, severing joint tenancy and Ontario’s new expedited probate process, hosted by Advocis Toronto.

We’ll break down joint ownership risks, title search best practices and the key differences between joint tenancy and tenants in common. You’ll get up-to-date insights on provincial rules, recent case law and how and when severance is possible - including why these details matter for your clients’ estate plans.

We’ll also spotlight Ontario’s new “Fast Track” probate applications - how and when to request expedited processing for urgent real estate transactions and other time sensitive situations.
