About Corbin Estates Law
Corbin Estates Law is a small Toronto firm founded in February 2005 by Barry S. Corbin. Corbin holds a B.Sc., M.Sc., and LL.B. and has been certified as a specialist in the field of trusts and estates law. The office is in University Centre at 393 University Avenue. Its work covers tax and estate planning, estate administration, and the mediation of estate and trust disputes for individuals and business owners, along with opinions on beneficiary designations.
Corbin was one of the earliest advocates of mediation as a way to resolve estate and trust disputes, presenting a paper on the subject at the Law Society of Upper Canada's 1996 Special Lectures on Estates. As a member of the Attorney General's Estates Subcommittee, Corbin helped formulate Rule 75.1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, Ontario's mandatory mediation rule for estate cases, and has since mediated will challenges, contested passing of accounts, and applications to remove estate trustees.
The firm also includes Dr. Ruth M. Corbin, an accredited mediator who chairs the forensic research firm CorbinPartners Inc. and works on disputes over expert evidence, and who previously held professorship appointments at the University of Toronto, Carleton University, and Osgoode Hall Law School.
