Love and the Law - November 28, 2018

"Let's move in together!"
"Want to get married?"
"There's no way in Hades you are getting any money from me when I'm gone!"

Taught by two of Vancouver's finest legal minds, we will address how the law shapes our relationships and the responsibilities that we, often inadvertently, sign up for when we make relationship commitments - and threats!

The new family and estate laws are altering our expectations as well as our legal roles and responsibilities to one another. It is important to know what your promises mean and how to best protect yourself from unexpected twists and turns in life.
