Choose your estate battles carefully
Posted by
Lynne Butler, BA LLB
This new article from All About Estates describes what happened in the Land vs. Binkley Estate case from Ontario. Not to put too fine a point on it, the judge blasted the beneficiaries for making two court appearances to fight over a small amount of money when there was really no grounds for a fight. The judge made them personally responsible to pay the legal costs of the lawsuit. I hope everyone who is considering starting a pointless fight over an estate will read this article, because it contains good advice. It will also help you understand how a judge decides who pays in an estate battle. Click here.
