Vancouver’s Estate Litigation And Probate
After a loved one dies, their estate is gathered, and all their property and personal belongings are distributed equally among beneficiaries as specified in their will. Sometimes a beneficiary may feel that the testator has treated them unfairly, they didn’t receive a fair portion of the estate, or the executor administered the estate incorrectly.

Will Variation
British Columbia’s Wills, Estate and Succession Act ensures that children and spouses are taken care of in the event of the death of a parent or spouse. How property is distributed following a death is typically left to the discretion of a testator when they draft their will. However, if your spouse dies without making adequate provisions in the will for you and your children, our experienced lawyers will file a court application to change the will so you receive the assistance you need.
Capacity Claims
If you are a beneficiary, you can contest a will if you feel the testator was not in the right mental state when writing the will.
For someone to be considered mentally sound, they must:
- understand the nature and impact of the will and the nature and scope of their property
- be free of any mental disorder or insane delusion that could result in an undesirable disposition
Capacity claims necessitate establishing a lack of testamentary capacity, which is typically done by medical practitioners and psychologists. Our lawyers will thoroughly investigate your case, file all required paperwork, consult relevant experts, and ensure you get what is rightfully yours
