 Estate Litigation Services in Vancouver

Spouses and children of a deceased may apply to vary the terms of the will if they are disinherited, or if they receive a smaller share of the estate than appears to be just and equitable. Factors that may be considered include:

• The nature of the deceased’s relationship with the applicant spouse or child;
• Whether the deceased’s intentions in the will appear to be rational;
• Whether the deceased gave the spouse or child significant assistance or gifts during their life;
• Whether the spouse or child provided adequate care for the deceased;
• Promises made to the spouse or child;
• Misconduct by the spouse or child;
• The needs and standard of living of the spouse or child; and
• The size and nature of the estate
