Last `Wednesday Mr. /I.
Egener, one of the well kr. wn
lawyers in Goderich, came to
Women's_ Day Out and an-
swered many - questions
dealing with women's rights
in the law. .
They first took a look at the
history of the land system.,,
The Janda• system was
originally based 'on the one
used in England 100 years
ago. Ariy farm lands owned
by the father were
automatically' passed on to
the son and the women were
never mentioned in the
transactions. '
If the husband died his wife
would be allowed to live on
the land for the rest of her life
but it would be owned by their
son.
Twenty to thirty years ago
there were no women's
names on deeds in the
registry office. Now, times
are changing. 'Women ar.e
now able to take out mor-
tgages, loans and Credit cards
on their own.
In Ontario, there is a
provision in the, taw called
Dower Rights.. This means, if
a married man owns , any
property his h " wife
automatically would be en-
- titled to one-third of the
property value.
If the husband should want
to sell the property, his wife
would also have to sign off on
the deed.,Men have no similar
rights should the wife pur-
chase property.
There were several
questions asked about wills
and why women should have
them. If a husband should die
without leaving a will the wife
gets the first $50,000. The rest
