@evas.estates: Testamentary freedom has limits, where the deceased had obligations to provide proper maintenance and support for certain family members. In Canada, Dependants Relief legislation was developed for a few reasons: * Preventing dependants from becoming a public burden when the deceased had a moral/legal responsibility to provide for them. * Recognizing that family obligations can continue after death. * Protecting spouses, children and adult dependent children who may have been financially vulnerable. Thank you for keeping the conversation respectful and don’t shoot the messenger. 🫣 #canadianwills #inheritance #estateplanning #Probate #AlbertaExecutor
