Family Law - Protecting Property and Inheritance

This episode, Dimitri Korolis is joined by Cresco’s Senior Wealth Planner Wayne De Boer and special guest Abram Averbach from ABA Family Lawyers to discuss family law in Alberta and how legal agreements can protect assets brought into a relationship as well as gifts received from family members during a relationship.

👉 Did you know that if your adult child lives with a partner for 3 years, that partner may gain legal rights to your child’s assets—including inheritance? Gifts and inheritances can be exempt from this division… if handled correctly.

This is exactly why having a properly structured agreement in place is so critical.

Abram explains the importance of protecting your assets—and those of your children—with clear, fair agreements. He makes a compelling point: the best time to put these agreements in place is when you're in a good headspace, not in the emotional turbulence of a relationship breakdown. Whether you're building wealth or looking to preserve it across generations, this episode is packed with practical and timely insights.
