How does a Power of Attorney work?
A Power of Attorney is used to confer your rights to make decision to another person. It is a legally binding document and can take form in (i) short-term or (ii) long-term. It is easy to put off preparing your will as it forces you to think about a point in your life that may be unpleasant – your death. According to statistics, more than 70% of Ontario residents are hesitant about preparing a will. As unpleasant as it may be, it is important to think about your death, especially in terms of organizing your affairs in advance so that your hard-earned assets are distributed according to your wishes.
 날이 갈수록 증가하는 미세먼지로 호흡기, 피부 등 건강에 문제가 발생하는 일이 빈번한 현실 속에서 대한민국 국민 중 한번쯤 이민을 꿈꿔보지 않은 사람이 없다 하여도 과언이 아닐 것입니다. 그런 가운데 이민 희망 국가 중 공기 좋고 자연이 좋은 캐나다는 꾸준히 상위권에 있습니다. 다만, 한동안은 이민의 장벽이 높아지던 추세였는데, 최근에는 이민 규제의 이민주체가 연방정부와 주정부로 나누어지면서 각 주정부의 재량에 따라 그 장벽이 조금은 낮아졌다고 할 수 있습니다. 특히, 이민국 (Immigration, Refugees, Citizenships Canada; IRCC)에서 2018년 온타리오 이민 수용인원을 기존의600명보다 10배가 많은 6000명 정도로 늘린다는 발표를 했습니다. 따라서, 이번 호에서는 한인들이 고려해 볼 수 있는 온타리오주의 이민 방법들 중 몇 가지를 소개해 드리겠습니다.
Even a good contract cannot prevent a dispute arising out of it. When a dispute arises, there are three options to pursue to resolve it.
In my 15 years of experience as a lawyer, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of having a good contract. By a “good contract” I mean a contract that is drafted clear and concisely, showing the parties intention as much as possible. I have seen so many disputes arising out of a contract, and in most of these cases, they are over interpretation of a clause(s) to downsize or over emphasize the parties’ obligations under a contract.
