How we can help you

CONTESTING A WILL

Laws exist to ensure that a deceased person’s assets are appropriately distributed so that relatives and other categories of people are adequately provided for. You may have legal grounds to contest a Will if:

  • You believe the Will doesn’t make adequate provision for you
  • You can show that the deceased was not of sound mind when they made the Will
  • You believe the deceased was pressured or threatened to sign the Will
  • You were made a promise by the deceased that if you did something for them, they would provide for you in their Will

When it comes to contesting a Will, the law can be complex and varies from province to province. Strict time limits apply, so it is crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible if you believe you have grounds to contest a Will.
