is there a statute of limitations on wills and estates in bc
In British Columbia, this equitable defence of estoppel has been successfully raised as a shield to defeat the defendantâs argument that the plaintiffâs Wills Variation Act claim is statute barred.his finding was upheld by the Court of Appeal. Needless to say, such late claims are clearly precarious. For example, the court refused to accept the claim of estoppel in Westover v. Cairns 2004 BCSC 1572. In that case a child commenced a Wills Variation Act claim slightly out of time.
