The following excerpt is from Elez (Re), 2011 ONSC 4687 (CanLII):
The acts and declarations of the parties before or at the time of purchase, or so immediately after it as to constitute a part of the transaction, are the most compelling evidence. Evidence of subsequent acts and declarations may be admitted, if relevant to the intention of the transferor at the time of transfer, but the judge must guard against evidence that is self-serving or that tends to reflect a change in intention. Pecore v. Pecore, paras. 56 and 59.
