After 12 years, 2,900 posts, 11,000 published comments, and more than 8,000,000 views, I'm closing the doors on this blog.
Frankly, I can't keep up! I'm running my law practice, which thankfully survived the pandemic. I'm still editing the Mensa Canada national magazine, still chairing the wills section of the Bar Admission Course, and I have a few new writing projects on the go. In a few months, my new book about building your family tree using wills and probate records will hit the bookstores (please keep an eye out for it; I'm really excited about it!). So, there being only so many hours in a day, I had to make some choices.
This website will stay as it is for now because I am told by many, many lawyers and non-lawyers alike that they refer to it often for information. I hope the archives will be useful for those of you working on specific questions. In the near future, I will formally archive it.
Also in the near future, you will see me again on a new, different website! I'll let everyone know when it's live.
Thanks to everyone who read my posts, commented, asked questions, and phoned/emailed me to talk about things I had posted. Writing this blog has been an educational experience for me, and it has kept me in touch with thousands of readers. Hugs!
