Difference between revisions of "Revocation of a Will (16:VI)"

According to Howland Estate v. Sikora, 2015 BCSC 2248: “The death of the claimant, prior to the coming into force of the (Family Law Act), does not override the respondent's right to commence an action against the claimant's estate so long as it occurs within the two year period contemplated in s. 198 (of the Family Law Act), as happened here.” In summary, this means that Family Law Act claims can continue even past death as long as the claimant brings suit within two years.
