Show Notes Episode 10:

David Hobbs, Rules of Court related to Estate Matters

The Rules of Court are the roadmap for handling litigation in the Supreme Court of British Columbia

  • With respect to estate matters, there are specific rules that deal only with estate matters.
  • Rules provide step by step instruction, for example:
    • How to apply for a grant of probate;
    • Instructions on how to file a notice of dispute; and
    • Instructions on how to issue a citation.
  • There are various processes and rules that relate to the processes with step by step instructions on:
    • What to do;
    • What you need to file;
    • What you need to pay; and
    • Where and how to file, etc.
  • The rules are very specific and very detailed.

Ian Giroday, on the question of whether estate litigation usually goes to trial, or settles out of Court

  • Like most civil litigation in BC there’s a good chance an estate litigation dispute will settle.
  • There are a number of reasons why disputes settle:
    • A settlement involves the parties in the decision-making process.
    • Litigation is expensive.
    • Settlement is final so there is no risk of appeal.
  • There are various mechanisms for settlement:
    • Informal settlement discussions.
    • Mediations – agreed to between the parties, or one party can issue a notice to mediate.
    • Arbitration.
  • Within the Court system itself there are other mechanisms that may lead to a settlement:
    • Judicial settlement conferences.
    • Summary trial processes.
    • Hearings on the basis of points of law.
