Frequently asked questions

What kind of legacy planning does Virtue Legal offer?

Virtue Legal prepares wills, powers of attorney, and estate administration, and advises on will substitutes such as inter vivos trusts, joint interests, and beneficiary designations. The firm also prepares secondary wills, which are meant to keep certain assets from having to go through probate.

I'm not married to my partner, can Virtue Legal still help with spousal support?

Yes. The firm notes that unmarried partners can qualify for spousal support in Ontario, even though many people assume support only applies to married spouses. Virtue Legal handles spousal, child, and dependency support claims.

Can Virtue Legal help if my partner and I are separating but still living in the same house?

Yes. The firm advises couples working through a separate and apart arrangement while they continue sharing a home, which is often a required step before a divorce can proceed.

Does Virtue Legal handle divorce and parenting arrangements?

Yes. Along with divorce, the firm handles parenting matters covering decision making responsibility and parenting time, plus domestic contracts.

Where is Virtue Legal located and who does the firm serve?

Virtue Legal is based in Scarborough at 10 Milner Business Court, and it describes its client base as Toronto and the wider GTA rather than one specific neighbourhood.
