Female separate from previous partner approx 10 years ago. Home is in her name alone. In 2023, now filing as common-law. New partner has no claim to home, beneficiaries are her kids. Do I have a bare trust situation because he is not on title?
In Ontario if the couple are common law (not officially married) there is no matrimonial home. The property belongs to the legal owner. If her children are merely beneficiaries of her will there is no trust.
Perfect. Thank you!
