Demographic trends in Canadian society mean that, faced with an aging clientele, lawyers are increasingly required to have a working appreciation of wills and estates issues. More and more, clients seek a contextual understanding of the testamentary implications of marriage, divorce, real estate transactions, and the acquisition or disposal of assets in wide-ranging legal contexts.
Newly revised and thoroughly updated, Halsbury's Wills and Estates (2024 Reissue) provides that understanding, systematically covering topics such as:
- Requirements and necessary elements
- Conditional wills
- Alternatives to wills
- Determining soundness of mind, memory and understanding
- Age requirements
- Onus, presumptions and evidentiary considerations
- Rules governing signatures and holographic wills
- Witnesses
- Incorporation by reference
- Express, implied and conditional revocation
- Holographic wills
- Impact of marriage and divorce
- Rules of construction and law
- Technical and legal words
- Presumptions and inconsistent provisions
- Class, postponed and conditional gifts
- Failure of gifts
- Dealing with residue
- Insufficient assets
- Liability of personal representatives
