There is a very fine line between testamentary freedom and an individual’s legal and moral obligations and responsibility to support those they leave behind, after death. Understanding the risks of post-death support claims is an important consideration for any lawyer in advising clients on their testamentary matters and structuring their related documents and agreements. This on-demand program reviews how a spouse or Adult Interdependent Partner is defined for family maintenance and support claims purposes under the Wills and Succession Act.
This on-demand program was originally broadcasted as a webinar on December 9, 2021.
The total running time is approximately 43 minutes.
