Where There’s a Will — or No Will — Clark Woods LLP Finds a Way
The loss of a loved one often brings emotional and practical challenges, especially when estate disputes arise. These conflicts can stem from unclear or absent wills, unequal asset distribution, or disagreements among family members. Navigating these disputes requires experienced estate litigation lawyers in Metro Vancouver who can protect your rights and advocate for fair resolutions.
Under British Columbia’s Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA), a testator (the deceased person drafting the will) has both a moral and legal obligation to provide adequate support for their surviving spouse and children. However, issues can occur when:
- The deceased leaves no will, resulting in disputes over asset distribution.
- Family members perceive unfair treatment, such as unequal allocation of assets.
- Beneficiaries wish to challenge the will’s provisions in court.
In these cases, WESA offers legal avenues for spouses and children to apply for a variation of the will’s terms, ensuring equitable outcomes. For those navigating intestacy (when no will exists), the act ensures heirs are treated fairly according to the law.
