Episode Details

In a groundbreaking case, a British Columbia court grapples with redefining child in estate law. Mary Diane Stainer, raised as a daughter by Wilfred Joseph Landry, challenges his will, which excluded her. Despite no biological or adoption ties, Landry acted as her father, supporting her and treating her kids as grandkids. Stainers lawyer argues for a modern interpretation of family, citing shifting social views. The case could set a precedent, as the Wills, Estates and Succession Act lacks a definition for children.
