What is the test for establishing that a party has knowledge and approval or otherwise knowledge of a deceased's estate?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Singh Estate (Re), 2019 BCSC 272 (CanLII):
The contestor must demonstrate that there is some evidence “which, if accepted would tend to negative knowledge and approval or testamentary capacity”: Vout at para. 27, see also Peterson v. Welwood, 2018 BCSC 1379 [Peterson] at para. 102. This test is akin to the prima facie test in other legal contexts.
