What is the difference between a will and a trust?

When it comes to estate planning, understanding the difference between a will and a trust is crucial. A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and can designate guardians for minor children. In contrast, a trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds and manages assets on behalf of beneficiaries, which can take effect during your lifetime or upon your passing. While both serve to distribute your assets, they differ in terms of when they take effect, how they are managed, and the legal processes they follow.

Fault divorce

Fault divorce

Definition of a fault divorce
A fault divorce is a type of divorce in which one spouse alleges that the other spouse is responsible for the breakdown of the marriage due to specific grounds or fault-based reasons, such as adultery, cruelty, abandonment, or substance abuse. In a fault divorce, the accusing spouse must provide evidence of the alleged misconduct in court to support their claim for the divorce. This is in contrast to a no-fault divorce, where the spouses can seek a divorce without having to prove that one party is at fault for the marriage’s dissolution. Fault divorces are less common in modern legal systems, as many jurisdictions now primarily offer no-fault divorce options.

The spouses, often with the assistance of their respective lawyers, draft a “convention de divorce” or divorce agreement. This document outlines the terms of the divorce, including how property, assets, and liabilities will be divided, child custody arrangements, and any other relevant issues.

Lawyer that deals with a narcissist

Narcissistic parents often present a polished, victimized image to the outside world, while their behaviour at home can be deeply damaging to their children. Society may be slow to recognize their true nature, but the other parent and, tragically, the child often bear the brunt of their toxic actions.
