About John M. Macaulay Professional Corporation

John M. Macaulay Professional Corporation is a solo elder law practice on Kingston Road in Scarborough. John Macaulay was called to the bar in 1973 and has practised in Scarborough ever since, focusing on estate planning, estate administration, powers of attorney, and real estate for older clients and the families and professionals who support them. Macaulay was born in Oak River, Manitoba in 1945 and earned a Bachelor of Arts from Carleton University before completing a common law degree at the University of Ottawa.

The practice serves seniors directly along with the family caregivers, executors, and other professionals who support them, and it makes house calls for clients who can't get to the Kingston Road office. Debbie Cowlin, a legal administrative assistant, has worked alongside Macaulay for more than twenty years handling the firm's estate and real estate transactions. Beyond casework, Macaulay gives free public talks on powers of attorney, estate trustee duties, and estate planning to seniors' and community groups across Scarborough.

In the community

  • Macaulay gives free presentations on powers of attorney, estate trustee duties, and estate planning, and has spoken at venues across Toronto including Scarborough General Hospital, St. Paul's United Church, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, and the Parkinson Society of Canada.
  • Other groups that have hosted a talk include Avondale Retirement Residence, Birchmount Bluffs Neighbourhood Centre, Chartwell Guildwood Retirement Residence, Harmony Hall, Malvern Family Resource Centre, Momiji Retirement Residence, the Canadian Academy of Senior Advisors, Probus, True Davidson Acres, VHA Home Healthcare, and West Scarborough Neighbourhood Community Centre.
