Our firm represents clients in both advancing and defending these claims, providing strategic advice and strong advocacy to ensure that estate distributions are fair, lawful, and reflective of the deceased’s obligations.
If you believe you have been treated unfairly in a will, or if you are facing a challenge from other beneficiaries, contact us today to understand and protect your legal rights.
In British Columbia, the Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) allows spouses and children to challenge a will if they have been unfairly disinherited or inadequately provided for. For example, if a parent leaves the majority of their estate to a new spouse and excludes or ignores one or more children from the inheritance, or prefers certain legal heirs over others without providing a valid reason that can withstand legal scrutiny, a will variation claim may be brought. These cases require careful analysis of the deceased’s legal and moral obligations. Our firm has extensive experience representing both claimants and executors in will variation disputes, offering strategic advice, skilled negotiation, and strong advocacy to protect our clients' rights and ensure a fair distribution of the estate.
