Dependants' Relief Legislation and Compulsory Portion
Limitations on Freedom of Testation in British Columbia and Germany in Comparative Perspective
Seiten
Aus der Sicht des deutschen Rechts ist es fast unvorstellbar, dass ein Gericht den gesamten letzten Willen eines Erblassers abändern und eine neue Aufteilung seines gesamten Nachlasses anordnen kann. Dagegen ermöglicht die dependants' relief legislation in British Columbia genau das.
Freedom of testation allows an individual to make effective on his death dispositions of his property on the event of his death. Dependants' relief legislation in British Columbia and compulsory portion in Germany limit this freedom by providing testator's family members with a portion of the estate. However, out of the two, only the legislation gives courts the discretion to change testamentary provisions, by making them, in some cases, entirely ineffective. A comparative analysis of the application, legal character, history and purpose of the limitations leads to the conclusion that the freedom of testation is significantly more limited under British Columbia's legislation than it is under the German law. The author proposes a solution that increases the freedom, adds predictability and reduces subjectivity of the application of the dependants' relief legislation in British Columbia.
