First steps when you’re considering an estates claim

1. Check your timing: Are you within the time limit of 180 days after Grant of Probate? Section 61 of Wills, Estate and Succession Act prohibits any applications to vary a Will after 180 days from the date probate was granted.  If the time limit expires, you will be unable to bring your claim. Other challenges to Wills may have a longer limitation period, but it is important to commence your claim promptly to protect your rights.

2. Contact one of our lawyers: Schedule your free consultation at Helpforme so we can discuss your point of view and assess whether or not you have a valid claim. Call us at 604-269-8500 or Toll Free at 1-888-LAW-5544. We’ll review your case and inform you of the best way to proceed.

3. Gather all your evidence: Be prepared to bring all the evidence you’ve collected to your free consultation so we can help prepare your claim. Types of evidence would include: a copy of the Will (if there is one) and information relating to the deceased, other beneficiaries and assets of the Estate.
