Contested Wills Lawyer

Serving Greater Vancouver and Surrey

You can contest the validity of a will in British Columbia before the Supreme Court of British Columbia. With the help of a family lawyer specializing in will contests and litigation, you can challenge a will and request a Court’s variation. Our experienced lawyers at Nirwan Law Corporation can assist you if you feel a will has treated you unfairly or failed to adequately provide for you.

Contesting unfair wills

A will dispute is an emotionally charged matter that requires legal advice from an experienced lawyer. British Columbia’s Wills, Estates and Successions Act (WESA) outlines specific requirements for determining a will’s validity. Under WESA, you may challenge an unfair will based on several legal factors. Those factors are:

Lack of mental capacity of the will-maker.
Coercion or undue influence at the time the will was created.
Improper execution.

If you believe a will is invalid, consult an experienced lawyer who can ensure your rights under WESA are upheld.

Filing a wills variation claim

Children or spouses left out of wills or inadequately provided for may apply to vary a will under WESA. To determine if a child or spouse has adequate support, the Court will review the claimant’s needs, their dependence on the will-maker, the will-maker’s intentions, and the size of the will-maker’s estate. At Nirwan Law Corporation, our lawyers can help you contest an unfair will and receive the compensation that you deserve.
