Jack Fallon founded Fallon Law to offer compassionate Estates law services. Understanding that Estates law matters can be emotionally taxing, Jack offers understanding and clear communication to clients to support them through the process.
The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (“STEP”) is a global society that distinguishes Estates law professionals who operate at the highest level. Jack is an Associate Member of STEP, meaning clients can expect excellent service when working with him. Jack had the benefit of excellent mentorship from one of the few lawyers in private practice in Toronto who are accredited as a Certified Specialist in Estates Law by the Law Society of Ontario. With this background, Jack is able to serve clients with complex planning needs, such as cross-border estate planning, planning for business succession, and planning for high net worth clients.
Formerly a member of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners, Jack continues to assist clients with charitable giving as part of their Estate plans. It is a very gratifying part of his practice to help clients create legacies to causes of personal importance to them. Even modest or contingent gifts give clients the satisfaction of contributing to a better society, making the Estate planning process more rewarding.
Back in law school at Osgoode Hall, Jack worked at ARCH Disability Law Centre – a Toronto-based legal aid clinic that serves people with disabilities across Canada. At ARCH, Jack worked on Ontario Human Rights Tribunal matters, and advocated for changes to Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) law. Jack is well-positioned to assist families who need to plan for beneficiaries who are recipients of income-tested government benefits (such as ODSP), and continues to promote the agency of people with disabilities in his practice today.
Jack has a particular interest in serving clients who have grown their families through surrogacy or using third-party gametes. To best serve such clients, Jack carefully considers obligations to gamete contributors, consents to uses of reproductive materials, and ensures that guardianship and trust provisions for minor children do not fail when drafting Wills and Powers of Attorney.
Jack grew up in California. He loves traveling back home to visit family and go hiking in the Bay Area.
