If you live in BC, the rules are a bit different because they have legislation that allows a child who is left out to contest the will on the basis of unfairness. The rest of the country recognizes that if parents have a reason to leave people out, then they can do so.<br /><br /Lynne Butler, BA LLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790353197833765108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436024129575354145.post-68568914155806631222019-07-14T08:22:02.339-07:002019-07-14T08:22:02.339-07:00Hi my question is can estranged children contest o...Hi my question is can estranged children contest our will if they are not named?

It's unbelievable. <br /><br />As our population continues to age, we are going to see more and more of these predators opening businesses that target the finances of seniors.

If it's just for a fee, it's too high, IMO. <br /><br />Normally executors provide a summary of expenses without attaching all of the receipts etc. There is nothing strange about it; this is mostly just to ensure that the executor doesn't pay a fortune in photocopying that nobody is interested in.

Because of a disgruntled beneficiary, Estate resolution and settlement has gotten out of hand. I retained a lawyer to navigate this gauntlet. I was asked for Pass Accounts.
