June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Elder abuse is far more common than many people realize, and it often happens quietly, behind closed doors. On World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, we’re reminded of how important it is to recognize the signs. From subtle behavioural changes to financial red flags - and to stay connected with the seniors in our lives. At Fieldstone Law, we work closely with Ontario families to prevent abuse through proper legal planning, including Powers of Attorney and protective oversight when needed. Awareness and early action can make all the difference in keeping vulnerable loved ones safe.
Do I Really Need an Estate Plan If I Don’t Have an “Estate”?
Estate planning isn’t just for people with large homes or significant wealth. Your “estate” is simply everything you own, and planning for it ensures your wishes - not provincial laws - guide what happens to your assets, your dependents, and even your personal care. A thoughtful estate plan can reduce stress, protect loved ones, and give you control over decisions that matter most.
