Did you mean to destroy your will?

This blog post from BC lawyer Stan Rule discusses a new case from the BC courts ( Jorsvick Estate, 2011 BCSC 528). In this case a woman told her lawyer that she wanted to make a new will but she died before she could meet with the lawyer. The woman's will was found, torn up. The case discussed the circumstances around the torn-up will, as there was no information about who had torn it up or when it had been torn up, etc. The court decided it was still a valid will.
