Will for Blended Families in British Columbia
A will built to British Columbia’s Wills, Estates and Succession Act and designed by a licensed lawyer — written with blended families in mind.
What blended families should know
- Blended families are where intestacy rules do the most damage — without a will, the law may not divide your estate the way you intend.
- Be explicit about children from previous relationships; silence is where disputes start.
- A trust can provide for a current partner during their lifetime while preserving capital for your children.
- Say plainly if you are deliberately leaving someone out — an unexplained omission invites a challenge.
- British Columbia follows British Columbia law — your will is governed by the Wills, Estates and Succession Act.
- In British Columbia you must be at least 16 years old and mentally capable to make a will — a will made under 16 is not valid (WESA s.36).
- Your will must be signed at its end in the presence of two or more witnesses present at the same time, and signed by those witnesses in your presence (WESA s.37).
