Before You Dig in an Ontario Backyard: Who Each Party Is in the Locate System, and the One Set of Lines No One Has to Mark

Before you dig in an Ontario backyard — a fence post, a tree, a garden bed — the law casts you as the “excavator” and Ontario One Call as the corporation that relays your free locate request to the members who own the buried lines. Here is who each party is, what each one must do and by when, the preconditions in s.10 before a shovel goes in, and the one set of lines — your own private wiring — that the statute does not require anyone to mark.

Signing an Ontario Purchase Agreement with DocuSign: What the Law Says at Each Step

Can you sign an Ontario Agreement of Purchase and Sale with DocuSign? Follow one document through a deal and see which parts of Ontario’s Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 do the work: the electronic signature (s.11(1)), the writing requirement (s.5), expressing offer and acceptance on screen (s.19(1)), the default rules for when a document is sent and received (s.22), each party’s consent (s.3), and the short list of documents the Act still leaves out (s.31).

Sold an Ontario Rental at a Loss? The Tax Rules Treat the Land and the Building as Two Separate Losses

The price you paid for a rental was really two prices — the land and the building — and Canadian tax law treats a loss on each of them differently when you sell. A building loss is not even a capital loss; a land loss can be, unless the property was for personal use or the buyer is your spouse or a company you control. Here is how each half is handled under the Income Tax Act, plus the spousal-rollover rule that can wipe the loss out before you start.

亏本卖掉投资房，那笔亏损就能抵税吗？三道关下，它可能归零、被「冻结」，或递延给别人

亏本卖掉出租或投资物业，资本损失不一定能用来抵税。据加拿大《所得税法》：自用物业的亏损归零（s.40(2)(g)(iii)）；出租房建筑物属折旧资产、不产生资本损失（s.39(1)(b)）；卖给配偶默认按成本滚转、当年根本不实现亏损（s.73），卖给自己控制的公司且对方仍持有则构成 superficial loss、当年被拒但递延（s.54、s.53(1)(f)）。本文讲清三道关，以及容易混淆的按市价计税规则。

A Parent Who Can No Longer Manage Money, and No Power of Attorney: Who Can Deal With — and Sell — the Home in Ontario

No continuing power of attorney and a parent who can no longer manage their finances? In Ontario, authority over their home runs through a cast of decision-makers under the Substitute Decisions Act — a capacity assessor, the Public Guardian and Trustee, a spouse or relative, and the court — with the parent’s own will limiting which property can be sold.

父母已失能、又没签财产授权书：在安省谁能、经什么程序代他们卖房（不止上法院一条路）

在安省，父母已无能力管理财产、又没签过持续性财产授权书时，家人并非只能上法院。《Substitute Decisions Act, 1992》给了两条路：一条经能力评估人出具无能力证书、由 PGT 先成为法定监护人再由家人申请替换；一条向法院申请指定财产监护人。本文讲清两条路的程序，以及成为监护人后卖房要守的受信义务与遗嘱特定遗赠限制。
