This week on Hull on Estates, Nick Esterbauer and Doug Higgins review the decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in McGoey (Re), 2019 ONSC 80. Through this unique case and its interesting evidentiary issue, Nick and Doug discuss the concept of a “sham” trust, and the principles applied by Ontario courts in evaluating a purported settlor’s intention to settle a valid trust.
