Morgan Payne Law

About Morgan Payne Law

Morgan Payne Law is a small, female-owned and operated law firm in Cobourg, Ontario, a Lake Ontario town that serves as the seat of Northumberland County. The firm is based on King Street East in Cobourg's downtown and handles family law, wills and estate planning, real estate transactions, and family and financial mediation, taking clients from across Northumberland County as well as Peterborough, Durham, and Toronto.

On the family law side, the firm covers separation, divorce, custody and access, child and spousal support, property division, and cohabitation and marriage contracts; clients who may qualify for a Legal Aid Ontario certificate for family law matters are directed to contact Legal Aid Ontario to find out if they qualify. The wills and estates practice prepares wills and both types of powers of attorney recognized in Ontario, for property and for personal care, while the real estate practice handles home purchases, sales, mortgage refinancing, and title transfers after a separation or divorce. The firm also runs its own mediation service, offering family, parenting plan, and financial mediation in person or online at an hourly rate, split between both parties, as a lower-cost alternative to resolving a separation through the courts.
