When you are the spouse or child of a loved one who has passed, being left out of their will can be financially and emotionally devastating. Fortunately, the law in British Columbia allows a spouse or a child of a deceased person to bring a claim to vary a will that does not make adequately provide for a spouse or child.
There are strict timelines for a disinherited spouse or child to bring a claim to seek variation of a will and it is important to discuss with a lawyer as soon as possible to make sure a deadline isn’t missed.
