Joint Retainer: Mirror or Reciprocal Wills for Couples 聯名法律代表:夫妻或伴侶的互惠遺囑或鏡子遺囑
聯名法律代表:夫妻或伴侶的互惠遺囑或鏡子遺囑
在多種情況下,夫妻或伴侶可以簽署聯名法律代表,並共同與律師辦理互惠遺囑或鏡子遺囑。互惠遺囑或鏡子遺囑細節大致相似,目的都是將配偶或伴侶的資產傳給另一方。
律師有職責保密及公平地辦理各方要求。然而,律師必須透露雙方意願及分歧。換句話說,有意辦理互惠遺囑的伴侶應該互相信任。
假如雙方決定結束夫妻或伴侶關係,並且有意更改或取消互惠遺囑或鏡子遺囑條項,原先律師會建議雙方徵求個人法律代表,以保障個人公平對待及避免在辦理個人遺囑時出現利益衝突。
請注意,安省法例沒有聯名遺囑。每個人必須辦理個人遺囑。
