Estate Law Video Blogs in English, Punjabi & Hindi: Helping those Unfairly Disinherited

Can those unfairly disinherited challenge a will in BC?

Many people in British Columbia discover that they have been unfairly excluded from an estate by their spouse or their parent. Often, the reasons given for the exclusion are unfair or even discriminatory.  Sometimes the exclusion may be motivated by cultural tradition.

Unfair reasons for disinheritance may include:

  • Being the wrong sex,
  • Liking or marrying the wrong partner,
  • Studying the wrong subject,
  • Choosing the wrong career,
  • Practicing the wrong religion; or,
  • Simply being the less favored child.

Sometimes, a sibling or other person has exercised undue influence or has taken advantage of a person with questionable capacity to make changes to their estate. Sometimes the will maker is under a mistaken belief about the disinherited person.

When a person has been disinherited by a spouse or parent, there are many circumstances where the disinherited person can challenge the estate, however, the time allowed to do so is limited.

Avoid costly mistakes, learn about BC estate law

What adds insult to injury is that many people are unaware of their rights under British Columbia law to challenge the unfair will of a parent, adopted parent or spouse. To this end, League and Williams has produced a series of estate law blogs and estate law video blogs (in English, Punjabi and Hindi) to improve awareness and knowledge of BC Estate Law and help those who find themselves unfairly disinherited.
